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?
