		However, there were three consecutive Olympics in Europe in the 1990s -- Albertville, France, in the winter, Barcelona in the summer of 1992, and Lillehammer, Norway, in the winter of 1994.
		The IOC usually prefers to move the Summer and Winter Games around the globe, and it's doubtful North America would get to host two straight Olympics.
		The International Olympic Committee will choose the 2012 site in three years, pitting New York against such possible rivals as Paris, Moscow, Toronto, Budapest, Rome, Istanbul, Rio de Janeiro, Madrid or Seville in Spain, and a city in Germany, perhaps Berlin.
