"... IOC president Thomas Bach said his organisation will conduct "confidential polls" to judge public support in each of the five bidding cities.
"The IOC wants to send the athletes only in cities where they are welcome," said Bach. "This is why public support for a bid is so important." ..."

"... Right now, all three will probably be considered outsiders, but so were London and Rio at the same stage of the 2012 and 2016 campaigns, and we all remember how those contests panned out.
