Istanbul bid for the 2018 Summer Olympics

On February 3rd, the National Alatian Olympic Committee (NAOC) announced that it would be bidding for the 2018 Summer Olympic Games. After an intense battle between Thessalone and Istanbul, the latter was chosen as the city Alatia would bid to host the games.
This application was not successful in reaching the short-list.
== Selection Process ==
On February 4th, Thessalon's mayor announced plans for an Olympics in Thessalone, causing tensions to rise in the NAOC. One half vowed for Thessalon to bid, while the other half vowed for Istanbul. Izmir also made plans for a bid as well, but Thessalon and Istanbul were still widely popular.
On March 1st, a vote was made for the bid:
City Name	Logo	1st Round	Final Round
Istanbul 	 	44 	50
Thessalon	 	47 	49
Izmir 	 	7 	
Istanbul, which won by 1 point, won the rights to bid for the Olympics.
== Venues ==
Venues would be in four clusters around the city, with the clusters being Europa (continental Europe, away from the strait), Liman Bölgesi (waterfront in Europe), Su Görünümü (waterfront in Asia) and Anadol (continental Asia, away from the strait).
There are two zones, one for Asia, and one for Europe
