Wouldn't have happened. Luckily we have a world class facility that attracts multiple events now because of F1.

Also lets not forget they have plans to expand sporting events at the Circuit including a possible new soccer stadium. That could also help our prospects.

Though us winning the Olympics is unlikely, its nice that we were asked at all, I am assuming this is the first time Austin was considered.
