Why would they jump to an earlier one even? dullard and Josh 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NearPup 2,167 Posted March 20 #133 Share Posted March 20 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. Josh and Biathlonfan 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Sydney#Climate_data https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Melbourne#Climate_statistics 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 https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Climate_of_Brisbane If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

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 If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
