Poll 71/100 | Which 3 cities do you think are the best for holding the Summer Olympic Games?


 Share

Recommended Posts

London has to be there for sure just based on recent Summer Olympics.

 

All the main cities in Europe that could realistically host have hosted. For new cities, this is biased but Toronto would be a great host, I think the 2015 Pan American Games demonstrated that.

It's a shame the idea doesn't have enough local and national support, but Amsterdam could do it honestly. As for 'best' I'm thinking London, Paris and Berlin.

 

Of cities that haven't hosted (by head) I'm thinking Lisbon, New Orleans and Toronto as three options.

Sydney, London and Los Angeles...

 

but give me free hand on the project and a proper budget and I'm gonna make almost every big city (in the rich part of the world, obviously) the best Olympic city ever...:whistle: :pope:

 

I already have a magnificent plan to make Milan the best host city of the Summer Olympics in the world...if only I had money enough and a few "friends" in the political establishment...:rofl:

Sydney, Beijing, London.

 

I prefer to give me chance for emerging economies. Just like Tokyo 1964, Seoul 1988 and Beijing 2008. Olympics play a important role for economy taking off and national confidence. I know Rio 2016 made fans somehow untrusted to emerging economies, still I would like to see more developing countries involved in hosting. India and Indonesia have big potential in 20 years. 
 

I will have a personal list for potential cities: 

Jakarta, Mumbai, Istanbul

For obvious reasons it doesn’t make sense to include American or Chinese cities. My list would be:

Paris, London, Tokyo or Sydney


Against Tokyo: They handled the 2020 Olympics very poorly

Against Sydney: Australia is too small and too hot + Lightyears away from the rest of the world

Attachment is the great fabricator of illusions; reality can be obtained only by someone who is detached.

    • Ah yes, post-colonial bickering never gets too old. Let me grab my popcorn!   Netanyahu is on a personal revenge mission to avenge his brother's death for his entire political life and people still act like they're surprised by his actions
    • MId-1962.  Almost all the Jews were driven out in a few days, even though they had been living there since Classical, pre-Muslim times.   Perhaps our friend could give us details of of any current Algerian plans to welcome them back, restore their property, guarantee their safety etc etc?    
    • In what year did Algeria free itself from French influence? 1960, exactly?
    • Or better, perhaps he'd like to tell us what happened to the 140,000 Jews who were living in Algeria in 1960, as against the 200 who live there now? 
    • There are still many people of Jewish origin in Central and Eastern Europe who have nothing to do with the state of Israel. What ties does Zelensky have to the state of Israel? Apart from he waś there as president of Ukraine and speaking in the Knesset? Nothing. In the power circles in Moscow there were/are many people of Jewish origin and what about that? A large part of the power apparatus of the USSR was based on Jews, especially in the years shortly after WWII.   Instead of constantly writing about Jews, would be better to tell me which country Algeria has better diplomatic relations with: Tunisia or Egypt?  
    • Handy guide for the perplexed.  
    • I`m a bit disappointed with the starts of the Italian team. I was counting on progress from last year. And here it looks like Bagnis is still very uneven. In Cortina there will be 3 competitions with medals to win and it would be a shame not to use our track to win 1-2 medals. The same goes for luge.
    • On the other hand Errani's serve doesn't make Paolini's task any easier... But Paolini is in a such good shape here, though, that I hope she wins her first title in the old Fed Cup. For Errani, it will be 4: 2009, 2010, 2013. So far, Roberta Vinci has 4 titles with Italy.
    • Skeleton WC Pyeongchang, South Korea    Women Gold-  Freya Tarbit (1:44.68) Silver-  Hannah Neise (1:45.64) Bronze-  Janine Flock (1:45.70)   Full Results   Men Gold-  Christopher Grotheer (1:42.81) Silver-  Marcus Wyatt (1:42.87) Bronze-  Matt Weston (1:43.31)   Full Results
    • Poor Iga, she was essentially playing alone with all of the mistakes that Kawa was making.
