LONDON -- Less than three months before the vote, the four candidates for the 2016 Olympics took their campaign to the African continent Tuesday -- including a video message from President Barack Obama renewing his support for Chicago's bid.
Bid teams from Chicago, Madrid, Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo made key presentations to the general assembly of the Association of National Olympic Committees of Africa in Abuja, Nigeria. It was the last chance for the cities to publicly showcase their bids before the final presentations and IOC vote in Copenhagen on Oct. 2. AP report in USA Today
