Ronaldo & Bolt Unite In Madrid 2016 Bid

Cristiano Ronaldo and superstar sprinter Usain Bolt united in a press conference announcing that they both endorsed a 2016 Madrid Olympic bid. The endorsement comes as a huge bonus for Madrid as Bolt was the star on the track at the Summer Olympic Games in Beijing. He won three gold medals in Beijing and broke a world record making him the fastest man in the world. Not surprising why his nickname is “Lightning Bolt”.

Other cities in the running for the 2016 Olympic games are Chicago, Rio de Janeiro and Tokyo. The final decision by the IOC committee will be announced in Copenhagen on October 4th, 2009. If Chicago stands any chance of winning the bid they better get Michael Phelps and Michael Jordan in there petitioning.

At the press conference they posed for a arm wrestle that Bolt made clear Ronaldo would win at. And then they both posed in the famous Bolt point.
