Finalists Show Off Their Cities to Become 2020 Olympics Host

The 2020 Olympics don't begin for another seven years, but who says you can't get pumped a little early?

Istanbul, Tokyo and Madrid — the three finalists bidding for the right to host the 2020 Olympic Games — have released a brief promotional video, depicting how the games would look in their respective cities.

In the video, each finalist takes turns explaining why their city is the ideal location for the Olympics. The brief clip includes everything from Rihanna's "Diamonds" to overhead views of the cities' signature buildings and attractions.

According to KLTV, the three cities made their pitches to the International Olympic Committee's general assembly in hopes of gaining an advantage over their competitors, as the final months of voting approached. Each side had "45 minutes to make speeches and show videos, with another 45 minutes allotted for questions and answers."

The winner is scheduled to be announced on September 7.
