		The New York City 2012 Olympic bid was one of the five short-listed bids for the 2012 Summer Olympics, ultimately won by London 2012.
		Their bid may have been hampered by the fact that the 2010 Winter Olympics are being held in Vancouver and organizers are believed to be eager to avoid having consecutive Olympics on the same continent.
		The new plan called for a new Mets ballpark in Queens in the parking lot of Shea Stadium, later conceived to be Citi Field, to be completed for the 2009 baseball season; it was announced on June 12, 2005.

		In response, New York—already at a slight geographic disadvantage compared to its European counterparts since the 2010 Winter Olympics will be hosted in Vancouver, and the IOC has been reluctant to host games in the same continent within such a short time period—has been scrambling to address any weaknesses cited in its proposal.
