Madrid 2012 was one of the five short-listed bids for the 2012 Summer Games.[1][2] Madrid and New York City were the only two cities that opted to hold the 2012 Olympics that had never held a Summer Olympics before. The candidacy celebration, held on June 5, 2005 in central Madrid, included the carrying of the longest flag ever constructed through the streets of Madrid using over a thousand volunteering citizens of Madrid as well as a performance by pop singer Shakira. The celebration concluded with a fireworks show. The official slogan of the candidacy campaign was, "Ready for you."
Madrid was eliminated in the third round of the ballot to select a host city at the 117th IOC sitting on July 6, 2005 in Singapore attended by Queen Sofia of Spain.
