They should start talking with Berlin, Budapest and Istanbul asap.

I'm pretty sure Madrid is also going to try and jump in that train knowing the city's polititians

It does seem like the Brisbane games aren't in any real risk of being cancelled, but the big project (rebuilding the Gabba) seems less and less likely to happen.

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.

Think the IOC needs to be taught the lesson that they don't get a brand new Pharoah's Tomb every time.

Thing is Brisbane does need a new round stadium because the Gabba will be at end of life in less than 10 years. This is all politics because of the election this year.

 

I don't think the current proposal of using QSAC will last very long and it's objectively the worst of the three options.

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.

The IOC only allows the Games to be hosted in the July/August Hosting window.

 

Brisbane will be in winter when it hosts in July 2032 but their winter is a lot milder and drier than Sydney or Melbourne then when it is cold, wet and miserable.

 

So, Sydney, Melbourne and all southern Australian cities have zero chance of hosting an Olympics in the future.

Too bad, July and August kind of feel like the best times of year to visit both Sydney and Melbourne without worrying too much about melting away, and quite nice average temperatures :d

Brisbane at least seems to be not much worse, although June/July would have been slightly better...but like you said, IOC won't allow that :p

Because it is much further north, Brisbane’s weather during winter is much better, warmer and drier than either Sydney or Melbourne in July and August where it is wet, miserable and cold.

 

Sydney 2000 was given special one-off approval to hold those Games in September because of Sydney’s poor winter weather in July and August.

Logical, given the world's average preferences, but too bad. A Sydney or Melbourne Olympics might be my best chance ever for comfortable weather at a Summer Olympics, a rather rare opportunity :d

    • Fingers crossed the women’s curling gold medal match also undergoes changes, very preferably an hour earlier so it doesn’t conflict with the men’s hockey gold medal match    Seriously, what were they thinking 
    • And yet another version is out . This time with some more noticeable changes.   Ice Hockey: Women's semifinals moved from the Rho Arena to the Santa Giulia Arena Women's gold medal game moved up to a 19:10 start time (was previous 20:10)   Speed Skating: Most of the events have had their session cut by somewhere between 5 and 30 minutes. Start times remain the same   Figure Skating: Looks like the order of events in team event is now: Ice Dance -> Pairs -> Women. Women were previously listed first.   Alpine Skiing: Downhill portion of the team combined cut by 45 minutes 1st Run of the Giant Slalom and Slalom events cut by 30 minutes   Ski Mountaineering: Sprint heats extended by 8 minutes. Finals session extended by 13 minutes   Ski Jumping: All sessions shortened by 5 to 15 minutes  
    • Detailed Competition schedule with start times is out   20241031_MiCo2026 Para Comp Schedule Version 4.pdf
    • Qualification for the 2026 World Baseball Classic has been announced. There'll be 2 qualification Pools and 4 teams in each with the top 2 teams in each pool advancing to the 2026 WBC.   As a fan of international baseball, words cannot describe how disappointed I am. We are coming off arguably the greatest international baseball tournament in history in 2023 and we are cutting the number of teams in the qualification round from 12 to 8 teams . How do you expect to grow baseball like that? Teams like  Argentina and  Pakistan have been on the rise but now they won't have the chance to qualify.     Taipei Qualification Pool (Feb. 21-25, 2025)  Nicaragua  South Africa  Spain  Taiwan     Tucson Qualification Pool (Mar. 2-6, 2025)  Brazil  China  Colombia  Germany  
    • Day 2 (November 10) Results:    Venezuela 2-4  Panama   Netherlands 2-12  United States  Mexico 7-5  Puerto Rico   Day 3 (November 11) Results:  United States 3-5  Venezuela  Panama 3-2  Mexico    Standings
    • Well... I'm late, as always, but unfortunately I couldn't follow live and I've just finished catching up with the thread.    Congratulations to our winner @Hipooo and to @Belle and @Erigert on their medals.    Well done to our host @Cinnamon Bun, who put up a huge effort managing the contest.   Thank you to everyone who voted for our song and helped us achieve this 5th place. I saw we were very close to a podium finish, but this is still a great result.   Congratulations to @Makedonas on the very successful song choice.   I'll now share my ballot.     1st   12 pts   Romania  2nd   11 pts   Bulgaria  3rd   10 pts   Sweden  4th   9 pts   Mexico  5th   8 pts   Brazil  6th   7 pts   Indonesia  7th   6 pts   China  8th   5 pts   France  9th   4 pts   Denmark  10th   3 pts   Spain  11th   2 pts   Italy  12th   1 pts   Albania    Res1   Ireland  Res2   India  Res3   Hungary   I'm looking forward to seeing you all in the next contest!

    • Kristi Noem has been nominated as Secretary of Homeland Security.   As someone who pretends to be a dog on the Internet I am scared.
