94 votes eliminated Chicago as a locale for the 2016 Summer Olympics

And most importantly, '94: year of the Lillehammer Olympics, year of the "whack heard 'round the world" (aka the Tonya/Nancy saga), year of Tommy Moe, and the year I began my obsession with figure skating and all things Olympics.
