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)

    • 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.
