Olympic gold medalist Edwin Moses is less concerned with his slotting among American sports icons than he is about promoting Chicago as the site for the 2016 Olympics.
"Chicago is a fantastic city, and I can easily see the Olympics setting themselves right here in Chicago," he said. "It is probably the most practical and economical ... [least] risky pick to have the Olympic Games of all the cities."
The other finalists for the 2016 Games are Madrid, Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo.
