Rogge won't rotate Olympic hosts

International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge has ruled out the possibility of rotational hosting of the Olympics from continent to continent.

Speaking at a news press conference, Rogge poured cold water on reports that the IOC would follow the lead of soccer governing body FIFA which has made a point of taking the World Cup tournament to each continent in turn.
Explained Rogge: "We cannot go FIFA’s way because there might be a case where we get a single weak bid from a country with poor facilities and if we are tied to offering the Games, then we would have a poorly organized event.
"Our choice is to invite all those who want to host, and pick the best."
