No matter the games are held in October or December they have the money to compensate the media for it's losses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

George_D 862 Posted June 20, 2022 #85 Share Posted June 20, 2022 Forced to withdraw in the race for the 2024 Summer Games due to the threat of a referendum against a backdrop of opposition to government policy, Budapest now wants to win the Olympic rings for a next edition, the first available being that of 2036, with the formal support of the Hungarian Prime Minister.

Why choose Egypt as the first African country to host the Olympics? They’re better off giving it to South Africa. As for India, wasn’t their CWG bad in 2010? And why should they celebrate 100 years after the controversial 1936 Berlin Olympics? Because China supports Egypt's bid for the 2036 Olympic Games!

South Africa couldn't even deliver the CWG when they were awarded them and Birmingham had to step in and host instead. That said I expect Egypt to be an even worse condidate and at this point in time there doesn't seem to be any African countries capable of hosting without it turning into a mess of white elephants, corruption and terrible economic fallout.

dullard 352 Posted October 22, 2022 #90 Share Posted October 22, 2022 I'd love to see another Summer Olympics in South Korea but probably the IOC won't won to go to East Asia so soon after Brisbane 2032. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
