ExpandGreat Britain could put in a strong bid too. I'd like to see the Netherlands put in an attempt...
2012-2036, its 24 years, not too many. Even US needed 32 years after their last Olympics
if we consider that is Europe's turn again after 12 years then excluding Spain only Germany or Italy could be the favorite bid.
ExpandIf the IOC has actually rejected Madrid because they have a different preferred candidate, then I really wonder who that is. Madrid was surely one of the IOC's best bets - a major global city with most of the necessary venues in place in a relatively stable economy with a rich sporting heritage.
Surely they don't want to go somewhere "new" and risky, like India, Turkey or Africa yet - the experience of Rio has surely scared them off that for a generation.
So where is it? The centenary of 1936 would make a German games a PR nightmare. Possibly London? 2012 is regarded as one of the best moments in this country's history by much of the general public and Britain is probably one of the few countries that would be overall quite positive about hosting another games, although making it London-centred wouldn't be ideal as the government preaches about 'levelling up' the north. Maybe some sort of joint effort between Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Birmingham, etc?
2036 is too early after 2012 for GB
ExpandAlejandro Blanco didn't say anything about the favorite bid of IOC, but some Spanish journalists suggested Egypt, India or Germany as the potential favorites of Thomas Bach.
the only countries i can imagine excluding Spain is Germany (if we consider that Europe has advantage) and then from the rest of the world, Canada

Kosovo's first Olympic gold medallist Majlinda Kelmendi retires from judo
i think Germans arent interested in Olympics for economic reasons (remember that they rejected Munich 2022 in referrendum althought most venues exist). I think Madrdi will be the favorite if they enter the race

RIP. By far the best president of IOC. He was in favor of less sports in Olympics
ExpandMine and your countries would be banned for sure. Christie and Chambers for GB and numerous for Greece.
no problem if it is the same for all countries. Clean games for all in all sports
ExpandFront that era every country was guilty.
agreed. Let the rules be for every/as many country/ies

Carl Lewis failed three doping tests during 1988 US Olympic Trials. He admitted it back in 2003 already. It's common knowledge he was a cheater too.

The admission is a further embarrassment for the United States Olympic Committee, which had initially denied claims that 114 positive tests between 1988 and 2000 were covered up. It will add weight to calls by leading anti-doping officials and top athletes for an independent inquiry into the US's record on drug issues.
So IOC should ban USA and IAAF from Olympics
ExpandThat entire USA team were probably all doping. The other two big names well Jackie was related to her and Carl has been accused many times.
i had read that Carl's teeth had started mysteriously growing after he retired and he needed to put braces at that age..
Florence Griffith Joyner was clean for sure.. 😁
ExpandOlivia Podmore aged 24 (NZ track cyclist) in the sprints who went to the olympics in 2016 died from suicide. Was a former junior medalist. Had a huge future but suffered from massive bouts of depression which ultimately claimed her. Horrible news.
i cant believ it
IOC is going more and more authoritarian

Regarding the swimming they have added the 800m for men and the 1500m for women so cutting numbers would be odd. -

That quota I’ve been told by an athlete aiming to qualify who I know online. -
By Epic Failure · Posted
Has the quota for Canada been offically confirmed anyway, or is that just a rumour? I can't find anything on google about it (nor the suggested quota for England's athletes someone posted earlier). 12 per gender would make sense (it's roughly what Canada sent to Birmingham). 12 overall seems dumb. -
Some sports have qualification systems 3x3 basketball (wheelchair) Para-cycling Powerlifting Weightlifting -
By JoshMartini007 · Posted
In the past few games, Canada (and other nations) was given an overall athlete quota which they then divided it through the various sports. -
Whose decision was this, Team Canada's or the Organising committes? -

I’ve been told there are no straight finals planned for the swimming. -

yes but from the other side, Bach's term is concluded in 2025, so 2036 will be the last chance to give an Olympics to his country
