AustralianFan 27 Posted October 3, 2021 #201 Share Posted October 3, 2021 On 7/21/2021 at 9:40 PM, Siddhartha Talukdar said: India has recently started to harbour ambitions of hosting the Olympics probably 2036 hence. Is IOC too firm on Jul-Aug window, so will this go against India's bid as its the monsoon season. Sporting events in India are typically held in Nov-Dec or Feb-Mar Yes unfortunately, the new rules appear to be very firm and were introduced after Sydney 2000 which commenced their Games in September. These new rules favoured Brisbane 2032 but effectively ruled out Sydney, Melbourne and the other southern capitals from bidding again as it is too wet further south of Brisbane.

Orangehair43 177 Posted October 4, 2021 #202 Share Posted October 4, 2021 I will be surprised if they will be that pleased to have a bid where swimming is so far from the host city. Particualy in somewhere like Spain where there are major political tensions between Madrid and Barcelona. Ted 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Monzanator 3,598 Posted October 5, 2021 #203 Share Posted October 5, 2021 Handing the Olympics to Brisbane won't stop the Gulf sheiks from chasing that Doha ticket. Unless IOC openly says Qatar is banned from hosting the SOG in the future, that one won't be denied. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's true that our NOC president said that the candidature would have some venues outside of Madrid to save some money and he specifically mentioned Barcelona (swimming), La Seu (canoeing slalom), Sevilla (rowing and sprint canoeing) and Palma/Valencia (track cycling). Right now none of these sports has a proper venue in Madrid, but in the case of swimming last year the city approved extra funding to continue building a big swimming complex close to the Wanda Metropolitano, so they will probably won't need to have it in Barcelona.

It’s the unsafe extremely hot weather conditions that will stop a July/Augustbid from Qatar dead in it’s tracks. July/August temperatures in Qatar are far too unsafe for all involved, athletes, officials, spectators particularly outdoor events, even at night. The 2022 World Cup is being held in Nov/Dec in air conditioned stadiums. The IOC’s new rules are simply not going to allow an Olympic Games be held in November or December - period.

Money always talks and Qatar doesn't have to host the SOG in November or December. Besides IOC rules can always change - and Qatar will keep bidding for those SOG. You can't host them in USA, Australia or Western Europe all the time to deny Qatar their wish. IOC has buckled down to Chinese money already, they will do so to Qatar as well. It's only a matter of time. mrv86 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
