CGF will, I suspect run back to Birmingham and Glasgow to see is there a way out of the mess - but this is actually worse than Durban, and second successive games were the host has had to pull the plug. I can only see a country wide bid (England/UK or Canada) where every city hosts one or two events. Or they could even try a commonwealth wide event. Decent chance this will happen to an Olympics again at some point. Edited July 18, 2023 by Orangehair43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not only a lack of effort but they've actively sabotaged it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victoria could've hosted a budget games because they have all the needed venues but they instead decided to go forward with this regional fantasy.
