Siddhartha Talukdar 176 Posted July 21, 2021 #184 Share Posted July 21, 2021 On 05/04/2021 at 04:46, AustralianFan said: Brisbane/SEQ - highly advanced bid and has full government support at all three levels of government, - has the majority support of Queensland’s citizens. - Brisbane/SEQ has exclusive Preferred Bidder status over all other bidders. - now completing final paperwork before IOC votes them in as the Hosts at the 138th IOC Session this July in Tokyo. - COVID circuit breaker choice for 2032 - they are so far in front and have been so for the last 3 years and no-one will catch them now before the Final Vote in 4 months time in July South/North Korea - been asleep for 3 years. just talking and have barely moved or done much at all. Not a chance for 2032 at least. There’s kess than 4 months to the expected 2032 Brisbane/SEQ hosting vote and so South/North Korea unfortunately is too little, too late for 2032. Budapest, Hungary - been asleep, they have hardly gotteen out of bed and have just formed a committee to do a “feasability study”. Too little, too late for 2032 Rhine-Rhur, Germany - lots of infighting, does not have their own government support for the bid and the majority of their own citizens are against the bid. Now because they do not understand the new bidding rules and now they have started a fight with the IOC. This bid is a real mess and no chance for 2032. 2036 is a priblem too as it is 100 years after the Nazi-run Games of 1936 - something which will weigh against them for 2036. Qatar - not a chance. New IOC rules require the Summer Games must be held in July/August. That eliminates Qatar straight away way too hot for the many Olympic outdoor sports and spectators. I wish the other bidders well for next time and I am sure each of the rivals bidders will be better prepared next time. India has recently started to harbour ambitions of hosting the Olympics probably 2036 hence. Is IOC too firm on Jul-Aug window, so will this go against India's bid as its the monsoon season. Sporting events in India are typically held in Nov-Dec or Feb-Mar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orangehair43 187 Posted July 21, 2021 #186 Share Posted July 21, 2021 An hundred years on from 1936 would be something I am not sure the IOC will go for. Torchbearer 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On one hand, I could see it as a "Look how far we've come as a species!" sort of thing. On the other hand, I doubt the IOC, and Germany specifically, want to focus so much on "Hey, we're not the Nazis anymore!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto 4,780 Posted July 21, 2021 Author #188 Share Posted July 21, 2021 Sad the IOC is relegated on settling on cities like Brisbane. Good for then however for being proactive about it and getting the IOC to commit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A few years back they said they would not look at bids from second-string cities, they only wanted big global mega cities. Well, how's that working out? intoronto 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Certain large but provincial cities in major traditional 'markets' will look on the Brisbane decision with excitement - in GB, the obvious candidates Birmingham and Manchester, possibly the North East and Glasgow will suddenly feel it is possible. Likewise large cities in Germany that are not Munich or Berlin. Spain and Madrid might be less happy with a perceived opening up of the field. Of course, the silly thing is Barcelona showed just how an Olympics can elevate a 'second' city - the IOC should never have been so silly in the first place. But then, that's on a loop, isn't it.
