I doubt the IOC gives Italy a Summer games 10 years after the WOG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In no way saying that India should host, but in 2036 that's 26 years ago. How long does it take before they'll be allowed to forget those Games?

hmc16 16 Posted March 23, 2022 #66 Share Posted March 23, 2022 If the IOC has actually rejected Madrid because they have a different preferred candidate, then I really wonder who that is. Madrid was surely one of the IOC's best bets - a major global city with most of the necessary venues in place in a relatively stable economy with a rich sporting heritage. Surely they don't want to go somewhere "new" and risky, like India, Turkey or Africa yet - the experience of Rio has surely scared them off that for a generation. So where is it? The centenary of 1936 would make a German games a PR nightmare. Possibly London? 2012 is regarded as one of the best moments in this country's history by much of the general public and Britain is probably one of the few countries that would be overall quite positive about hosting another games, although making it London-centred wouldn't be ideal as the government preaches about 'levelling up' the north. Maybe some sort of joint effort between Manchester, Liverpool, Leeds, Birmingham, etc? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
