Final selection

In the first round of voting, there was a tie between Buenos Aires and Cape Town with both cities having the least amount of vote, So there was a tie-breaker between the two cities with Buenos Aires being eliminated. Stockholm was the next city to be eliminated followed by Cape Town. The final round was between the top two cities and saw Athens received enough votes to win the 2004 Summer Olympics Games. Athens' stadium was Spyros Louis, Rome's Stadio Olimpico and Stockholm's proposed stadium "Victoria Arena".
