The IOC says six cities from Europe, Asia and the Middle East are bidding to host the 2020 Olympics. Submitting bids by Friday's deadline were Rome; Madrid; Tokyo; Istanbul; Doha, Qatar; and Baku, Azerbaijan. There were no surprises, as all six cities had previously announced their bids, according to a report of the Associated Press. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) will select the host city in September 2013.
