Besides IOC rules can always change - and Qatar will keep bidding for those SOG. You can't host them in USA, Australia or Western Europe all the time to deny Qatar their wish. IOC has buckled down to Chinese money already, they will do so to Qatar as well. It's only a matter of time. Why do you think that Doha 2032 never progressed past the Dialogue stage? It is a safety issue for the athletes. It is a bloody oven in Doha, and the IOC will not countenance athletes, officials and spectators dropping like flies with heat stress. You cannot hold the many outdoor Olympic events like the Marathon, Triathlon, Road Cycling, etc in a Doha in an air conditioned stadium. The IOC won’t allow it even if the July/August rules were changed. The IOC’s New Norm reforms has generated a huge wave in interest for hosting in 2036 following Brisbane’s recent election. As a result, the IOC are now triumphant with these 118 New Norm reforms introduced in 2018. To be clear, the list below is of media reports of early interest in 2036 hosting. I’m not talking if there is, or not has been or not, any dialogue with the IOC, nor am I talking about the actual chances of each of getting the Games …..these are purely media reports of interest shown by these in possibly hosting in 2036. As we know, early interest is just that … and often nothing more.

Here is the discussion transfer link over to the 2036 thread. Nothing is set in stone let alone rules about not hosting the Games in November. Let's get real. Most of the wealthy Western Europe bids probably won't happen due to local population objections. Hosting SOG only loses money and most people prefer the money to be spend on them rather than a two week sporting event. Montreal paid off the 1976 debt for like 40 years? I don't see them hosting another Games anytime soon. The Winter Games became so exclusive they had to give it to China who isn't exactly well known as a winter nation. If IOC stays true to their diversification & inclusive nonsense they will have to pick an Asian vernue sooner or later. This probably means a return to China or Qatar as the obvious Middle East candidate. London will not get another SOG after only 24 years again, Budapest, Istanbul and Russia don't sit well with the liberal values of the Wester world, Germany already rejected the WOG bid for Munich/Ga-Pa due to local protests, I don't see them hosting SOG either. Indonesia is the biggest Muslim country in the world and a complete unknown when it comes to hosting global events of any kind (unlike Doha). They went ahead with the Games in Rio de Janeiro despite objections about humidity & corruption. When there is so much money involved things can change fast. And nothing devalues faster than a word "game-changer". These rules you cite could become irrelevant anytime between today and Brisbane OG.

Doha, Qatar is not going to get an Olympic Games in that oven-like heat in July/August where it is often 40 degrees celcius at 2am. The IOC and the International sporting federations will not allow it. NBC will also not allow an Olympic Games to be held outside the July/August timeslot.

Well, if NBC is more important than IOC then all this discussion we have here is obviously pointless A Muslim country will never host SOG either IMO. Sorry, I forgot NBC is the one making the final choice when it comes to hosting the Olympics. I rest my case in this thread. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, NBC long have had considerable influence over the Games and events timings because of the million of $$ they pay for broadcast rights. That is public knowledge and has been that way for many years. In the recent Tokyo Games for instance, it was NBC who influenced the IOC and FINA to hold the swimming finals in the mornings so that it was prime time back in the States. The International Sporting Federations also are consulted and have considerable influence with the scheduling of Games Dates, and event timings.

Monzanator 4,499 Posted October 7, 2021 #216 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Please, the same happened in Beijing. I know fully well big TV sports in USA get the favorable time slot in US TV. Same happened with figure skating in Pyeongchang and will probably happen in Beijing in few months time. At the end of the day this is all about entertainment and hardly about sport anymore so talking about this bidding process is quite frankly a waste of time. Besides, with Brisbane IOC actually stopped even pretending a bidding process matters and awarded it right away. This is life. These bidding contests will soon be totally over. Obviously Gulf sheiks will still have money and will keep throwing that at whatever event they can host so maybe even IOC caves in when suddenly there will be no bidders outside of USA, China and Australia and there will actually be some uproar why the same three countries host the OG over and over again. I still remember when Sydney OG was held in September. Obviously Brisbane had to cave in to NBC demands too since that will be held in July/August. No chance NBC approves any Games being held in September with the NFL season starting there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, Brisbane’s sub-tropical weather is fine in July and August and has much the same “winter” as many northern hemisphere Summers. There was no caving in regarding Brisbane’s 2032 Games Hosting dates - never. They have always proposed and wanted the Games to be held in July August as the State of Queensland’s weather in July and August is gorgeous - perfect for athletes. Whereas Sydney and Melbourne are cold and wet much further south. Sydney 2000 was given special two-week dispensation to open their Games on 15 September. But it was after those Games, NBC put their foot down. The previous traditional bidding contests with a dramatic host announcment ended with the 2019 election of Milano-Cortina for 2026 pitted against Are-Stockholm under the old broken bidding rules which are gone, gone, gone, thank goodness. It’s not bidding anymore. It’s one to one dialogue with the IOC Future Host Commission. The first election under the New Norm massive changes made to whole process occurred on 21 July 2021 with Brisbane’s election has 2032 host. Under the new system, a bunch of interested parties can be in the Continuous Dialogue phase, but only one will be elevated to the Targeted Dialogue phase for possible election. That’s the way it works now and it’s generated massive early interest from all round the globe in hosting in 2036. 118 reforms to the old broken bidding system. We’ll see how 2030, 2034 and 2036 pans out and who bet’s elevated for Targeted Dialogue. Whoever does will likely be put up for a vote as Host for those Games The IOC’s New Norm << click on the link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 4,499 Posted October 7, 2021 #218 Share Posted October 7, 2021 It's a fine PR talk but everyone knows Olympics are there to make money in the end. The "new" norm will become "old" one way or another. And Qatar & China will still be there to host all the events they can because they don't care about losing money - unlike the Western countries. It doesn't take much to have another 2008 economical collapse before people start bailing out over the lost money and view hosting process as expendable. The biggest economy in Europe hasn't hosted Olympic Games in 49 years & counting and they want nothing to do with it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monzanator 4,499 Posted October 7, 2021 #220 Share Posted October 7, 2021 Thomas Bach is a butt of jokes for a long while already - on this board as well. I wouldn't pay much attention to all this scripted PR talk whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
