[originaltext] The International Olympic Committee is releasing an evaluation

The International Olympic Committee is releasing an evaluation report on the five cities bidding to stage the 2012 Olympic Games. The report won’t rank the cities but it is intended to guide the Committee when it votes for the winner next month. It will focus on technical aspects of the bid, such as the quality of venues, transport and security. Paris, London, Madrid, New York, and Moscow are all bidding for the Games. Our sports correspondent Harry Pierre reports:
   The publication of the report marked the thirty-day campaign after two years of growing campaigning by the five bidding cities, the IOC has already stated that all five could stage a successful games. The evaluation report is based on the comprehensive bid book, which details all aspects of the city’s bid and the visit by the IOC inspectors headed by the Olympic champion Nawal El Moutawakel of Morocco. Venues, hotels, security, transport, financing and public support for the bid have all come under the team’s scrutiny.
