As an Australian I must say that every decision so far and in the future in regards to these games is and has been extremely political, aimed at nothing but short term votes. It’s worth noting that there’s an election in this state in the upcoming months as well, and hence influenced this decision.

Yea, at this point mostly a lot of political bluster.  I don't think the IOC needs to be searching for an alternative just yet.

If I was the IOC I would be getting plans ready incase Queensland and Australia pull the plug on this.  Feels like it is heading that way. It seems the games are unpopular in Queensland.    And

when you can make money out of something, our politicians are always ready :bones:

Pretty hard to make money off the Olympics these days.  Certain people - yes, including politicians - would benefit.  Others, including most tax-paying citizens, likely would not.

 

I am cautiously optimistic that Milano-Cortina goes off well.  That seems like far from a guarantee though.

What a mistake going to Australia so soon after 2000

The way Agenda 2020(+5) awards the games is a big mistake. The complete lack of transparancy and awarding the games this far (11 years!) in advance seems bound to create issues.

The opposition are fully backing the games so I don’t think they would cancel it if they win.

Yes I highly doubt either would cancel as that would be extremely embarrassing for reputation but I think it’s more of a political thing with the stadiums and what to do in that regard. I’m not sure if both sides will agree with the Gabba decision, whether to redevelop it or not. The opposition hasn’t made their position clear yet. It will be interesting to see it unfold over the next months

The government doesn’t want to build a new stadium because of $$$ and they know how this will impact votes 🗳️🗳️. It’s all about these stupid politicians playing their annoying games, rather than making proper decisions to ensure we can host it well

It could have been a positive, but it has become a big negative.  2030 was (and possibly still is) a disaster.  2032 isn't looking so good as well.  Thank goodness for the United States to save the day.  Bach's legacy may not be looking so hot these days

The mistake was awarding the games 11 years out, in the middle of the pandemic, with no other bids to compare them to.  Not to mention that Australia was adamant about pushing for Brisbane because of the calendar as opposed to Melbourne since they would be a harder sell in the usual July-August window.

It's not Australia that was adamant but the IOC that is adamant they won't allow the games outside of northern hemisphere summer and this rules out both Melbourne and Sydney. If the IOC weren't so busy catering to the desires of certain countries and their broadcasting networks we could have a games in Melbourne.

Well, I guess, if somebody refuses the Games, I guess China will forward again 😄😄. Shanghai is a candidate for 2036 but I think they would not refuse to have the opportunity even earlier 😄😄

      Half of those things, if not more, are simply stories though. One may believe them or not, fine, but those aren't really reasons to claim a land. That way anyone can claim it if they have some old story that says so, and we end up in exactly the same situation.

      But actually we can, going back to the crusades, to the Jewish exile from the land of Israel.    To Moses who walked the sinai desert for 40 years to get into israel.   To all the stories in the Bible about israel.  And even Jesus who was born a jew in Bethlehem and lived in Nazareth.  All places you can see to date.   The only way you would argue that there is no historic proof that israel is out land is if you are simply and atheist and dont believe anything in the Bible.

      And before the Turkish empire it was another. And before that yet another. And yet another. And yet another. Always a good illustration of the never-ending killing of each other in especially that region. "The god in my stories is better, so we need to kill you and everyone around you" often being a central theme.     In short, nobody 'deserves' to be there (or anywhere in the world, for that matter) and definitely nobody right now can genuinely claim the land on historical grounds or anything (which apparently people often do), unless they're a proven descendant of the first cavemen and hunter-gatherers and such coming from Africa tens of thousands of years ago.

      Btw.  You should know that palestine is a made up country.   It never existed in history.  Before israel was awarded the land it was the British empire.  And before that the Turkish empire.    And you can google to see who was there before the turks.  But it was never palestine.   The people are Jordanian that Yasser Arafat took from Jordan because the king was killing them.   So if you're looking for a home, I would go to Jordan.   And Gaza was taken from Egypt in 1967.   Yet when sinai was given back, they never wanted Gaza.  I WONDER WHY!   so keep talking about a made up country that doesn't actually exist   Can wait to see your well thought and coherent response

      It was.  Lately is just tears of people who hate that we kill all their idols like Sinwar and Nasrallah.    It's surprisingly nutritious

      You are speaking like an imbecile in a forum in online, its not your grocery store or mosque in your third world village.   We have an identity.   I wouldn't expect you to know it.  But I'm happy to see you be miserable since we are killing each terrorist one by one. Just big red marks on the year book.    Keep going.  It's a boring time on an olympic games forum.   It's very amusing.

      Not typical a sport news, but worth to mention. Konrad Bukowiecki and Natalia Kaczmarek did married today. From now officialy Natalia will change her surname to Bukowiecka, she will not follow her team mates and will not have double surname
