Probably making it stricter again will lead to no interest in hosting at all anymore, like there already is so very little of.

I think more flexibility around the venues is, by far, the best reform Bach and friends have instituted.

 

I have a lot of qualms about how Brisbane got the 2032 games, but I do think their regional model is absolutely the future of the Olympics.

Which is a bit of a shame, because if countries and cities were willing, we should easily be good for another few decades. Say, 2 cities or regions in USA, 2 in Canada, 2 or 3 in Scandinavia, something in Germany, Austria, Switzerland, Italy, 1 or 2 in Asia and we're already closing in on 2070-2080. Too bad we'll never be able to add Oceania or South America to the list.

And that's relevant to the 2030 games how? Will the French Alps cancel in solidarity?

Could the French local elections cause changes to the plans. Nice is heading for a National Rally Mayor for example.
