I’m afraid Detroit will never be financially stable to host such a big event. They were one vote away from the 68 games though. That is our olympic history.

Olympian1010 7,477 Posted July 19, 2019 #933 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Alright so great day for Olympian. There was a secret Olympic drop in the US and I managed to get some deals. @dcro I’m super excited to say that’ll be at the Cross Country portion of the Eventing event now (I’ll probably give away one of my Dressage sessions now too). I also managed to pick up a Rugby Sevens Women’s preliminary session, so I’ll be there to support our War Eagles. NearPup and dcro 2 “Sport has the power to change the world.

Well at least Barcelona didn’t have all that ugly, expensive concrete. They just made a separate path from the larger river (like some of the World Cup venues).
