Athens, Sydney, Toronto

Athens forever would be my choice

If the lights light up exactly at the correct moment, he was definitely first, since his light went on first. Not sure if those lights are 100% accurate though?

At the beginning of 2020 as Coivd was only Asia-thing some politician form London said they could take care of Tokyo Olympic Games.

 

1. London

2. Los Angeles

3. Sydney

 

They have stuff needed there

 

also probably 

 

Paris, Beijing, Tokyo. And other big cities of USA.

 

I somehow like the idea of permanent Olympic Venue, so Greece as whole. ;)

From the real existing Olympics: Barcelona, London, Sydney

 

From potential future hosts: agree with Madrid, looking forward to Paris, and in some point in the future, Istanbul would be also an interesting host (for the moment they are far from being in the position to organise an Olympics)

 

From the CEE region (excluding Russia) Prague might be the most suitable candidate. Budapest might have (now or in the near future) more or better high level venues (such as the Puskas Arena, the 2022 handball arena, or the 2023 athletics stadium) but in overall infrastructure, Prague wins hands down (especially in public transport, which is essential to hold a non-corona Olympics)

London, Rome, Paris for sure. Most (if not all) of Western European capitals can be included along with major US cities imo.

From the future perspective - I think Buenos Aires would do well. A little more variety would be great for future host selections.

From a viewing standpoint, I loved Rio. Very picturesque and beautiful. The best cities are the ones with the infrastructure & economic stability already in place (Los Angeles, London, Tokyo, Sydney). 
 

Out of the cities that haven’t hosted, I would love to see an African nation host. Also, Toronto & New York would be cool.

 

Selfishly, I would love to have the games in Detroit. We should of had it in 1968, but Mexico City just beat us out. We haven’t had the economy to host them since the 1968 riots & 2007-08 stock market crash. I am hopeful for the future though (maybe a combined Detroit/Windsor bid)

    • Argentina also has ski centers on the Tierra del Fuego but that doesn't mean it will immediately become a powerhouse in this sport 
    • Speak for yourself. Why should we give up our one great talent of the younger generation when we have no one else? Maybe from the same reason that the USA didn't give up Schiffrin to another country when she had 17-18...
    • A very ignorant statement.   Of course the UK is not exactly known for its winter sport but there are some ski resorts mainly in Scotland, like the Cairngorms or the Nevis Range.
    • But in women's epee another defeat by Ukraine. We are slowly developing a complex about this country, because we are constantly losing to them in sabre too. Sabre has always been Ukrainian, epee for a draw or our slight advantage but a failed in women`s foil, which is already a shocking novelty  
    • What comeback for the italian men's foil team in the finals vs the USA  Bianchi won 9-3 against Massialas in the last bout 
    • Not often your prayers  get answered so quickly!  
    • Boxing cangaroo instead of regular boxing.
    • Since it's the home Olympics I think there is a chance to have 50-60 million. It won't be Superbowl numbers, but it could very well be around a Presidential debate level.
