Anyone who had been to Gothenburg, Sweden, will attest that it would be a much better locale for the IAAF world championship than Eugene in literally every aspect (direct flights to major European cities, better and larger sports facilities, more hotel rooms, less crime, no homeless, more things to do in town, etc.). Sorry to say this, but Eugene is just not in the same league. Gothenburg should have been allowed to submit their bid, and I can appreciate their frustration with not being able to do so.
