Qatar really doesn't have a great record when it comes to major events. At this rate we will likely get a Doha 2032 games. No one else will want to bid due to the economic fallout of covid. rafalgorka 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roy Tomizawa 29 Posted August 5, 2020 #387 Share Posted August 5, 2020 The 75th anniversaries of the atomic bombings of Hiroshima would have taken place on August 6 and 9, the final day of the 2020 Olympics, if it had taken place this year. Here is a story I wrote about an American Olympian who has an extraordinary connection to Japan, whose grandparents survived the Hiroshima bombings, and whose father rescued them and brought them all to America. https://theolympians.co/2020/08/05/the-palchikoffs-how-the-grandparents-of-an-american-olympian-survived-the-russian-revolution-and-the-atomic-bombing-of-hiroshima/ hckošice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Olympian1010 7,470 Posted August 27, 2020 #390 Share Posted August 27, 2020 Wouldn’t be surprised to see LA2028 reveal their logo(s) soon be the way. They have removed all the bid logos from their social media pages, and have posted a weird promotional video seeming to hint at a announcement coming sometime soon. Plus, their presentation the IOC at the General Session (which I read last week), talked about some branding milestones coming up too. “Sport has the power to change the world.
