China favored as Olympic site
Politics may decide 2000 Games' home
The Associated Press
MONTE CARLO, Monaco — As the five candidates vying to play host to the 2000 Olympics made their final pitches yesterday, the decision appeared to be between Beijing's political pull and Sydney's promise of risk-free games.
China's human rights record remained the central issue surrounding its capital's candidacy as the International Olympic Committee prepared for today's secret ballot.
Sydney is said to have the best technical bid because of its sports facilities, hotels and transportation. An official committee report said Sydney offered "conditions over and above what is required by the IOC."
Despite controversy and criticism, Beijing appears to be the slight favorite. Its main rival is Sydney, Australia. Manchester, England, could be a compromise choice, and Berlin and Istanbul, Turkey, are long shots.
But the symbolism and political impact of taking the Games to China, whose 1.2 billion people represent one-fifth of the world's population,
could sway the deciding votes. Beijing officials noted that about 300 million people would take part in the torch relay if China played host to the Games.
"It's David vs. Goliath," said Kevan Gosper, a committee vice president from Australia who serves on the Sydney bid committee. "The sheer immensity of China is the hardest element Beijing's competitors have to contend with."
Some committee members claimed that awarding the Games to Beijing could serve as a catalyst for reform.
"If you really want to influence a change in the behavior of China, this is a way to do so," said Dick Pound, an executive board member from Canada.
Beijing's opponents, including members of the U.S. Congress, argued that China did not deserve the Games because of its human rights record. Awarding the Games to China, they said, would honor the government that brutally suppressed
the Tiananmen Square pro-democracy movement in 1989.
China's Vice Premier Li Lanqang accused U.S. and British politicians of ignoring the Olympic spirit by opposing the bid on political grounds.
Li said holding the Games in Beijing would promote international friendship and greater East-West cooperation.
"A lot of those who criticize China have never been there," he said. "They should go to see for themselves. After they go, I'm sure they will come to the right conclusions."
"It will be of great importance to all mankind if Beijing wins," he said. "It will be of far-reaching historical significance."
Sydney has tried to depict itself as the most reliable host and the candidate preferred by most athletes.
It has never boycotted the Olympics and is one of only three countries to participate in all Summer Games of the modern era, he said.
John Coates, president of Australian Olympic Committee, called his country a peaceful and democratic society free of terrorism and racial conflict.
Today's decision lies in the hands of 89 committee members from 75 countries. Forty-five votes will be needed to win.
