It would of course cause a lot of comparisons to that dark past, and a lot of celebrations worldwide by a certain kind of people...the bid would have no chance, the IOC surely doesn't want this kind of attention. Last time they wanted to show, how much they changed, it finished with terror attack on Israeli athletes. I don't say it's Germans fault, but why to provoke a fate?

But choosing 2036 would be more dangerous even from that point of view...honestly I would have never thought that there were suggestions to host on the 100th anniversary on purpose.

Well. From what I understand, some people feel that it'll be the attention needed to stop that comparison in the future. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heywoodu 13,499 Posted July 30, 2019 #44 Share Posted July 30, 2019 If Germany hosts 2036, the good thing is 'The '36 Olympics' will from then on by something not dominated by thoughts of Hitler (depending on what happens in the next 17 years of course, just assuming there's not a new Hitler on the rise) If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!

Olympian1010 7,418 Posted October 4, 2019 #45 Share Posted October 4, 2019 Very interesting, every single Olympic insider thought it was a done deal for . I wonder what NOC is whispering in Bach’s ear “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

intoronto 4,073 Posted October 4, 2019 Author #47 Share Posted October 4, 2019 There was a multi-city project in Germany interested. I wonder if they are still considering it. I am sure Shanghai will throw its name into the hat if no other bids come up. I'd imagine Australia is the clear favourite at this point. Secretly, hoping Toronto throws its name into the hat, but it ain't going to happen. ofan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
