(CNN) -- Tokyo and Istanbul have advanced to a final runoff vote to be the site of the 2020 Olympic Games.

Saturday's International Olympic Committee vote in Buenos Aires eliminated Madrid -- but only after a tiebreaker vote. Tokyo finished first in the day's first round of voting, but Madrid and Istanbul received the same number of votes in second place. The committee then voted again to place Istanbul in the final runoff with Tokyo.

The results of the final vote were sealed and were expected to be announced during a ceremony from 5 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. (4 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. ET).

Each of the cities has strengths and potential weaknesses, said Ed Hula, editor and founder of aroundtherings.com, which covers the business and politics of the Olympic movement.

"Istanbul is the one bid that offers something unique and different," Hula told CNN in a telephone interview from Buenos Aires.

If Turkey were to win, it would be the first Muslim country to host the Games and, with a median age of less than 30 years, one of the youngest.

Congrats to Japan. @least, Nigeria would have seen her vision 2020 come alive by then.
