After the posting earlier today from Rols re Bucharest perhaps a future Eastern European SOGs could be of interest for us mug punters as well as the IOC cognoscenti. Care to suggest where and why the IOC will go east of the Oder perhaps post-2020? (and yes, I know Prague is west of the Oder and Istanbul is partly on the European continent however this is pure speculation not a bloody geopolitical seminar )

I've long thought that when it comes to sporting tradition and Olympic heritage, Budapest is far and away the most deserving o0f the former East Bloc-ers. I suspect it's also probably, in terms of economic capability and existing infrastructure, the best equipped to do so as well. That said, I'd say it's a toss-up whether the next time it goes east it ends up in Mother Russia, or one of its former satellites.

Nevertheless, the Polish are errased two times from the European map in history, I think they have together with the Hungarians the best palmares. But in the last few deccades the Polish are sending more and are getting more athletes/medals than the Hungarians.
Maybe Warsaw is not so an interesting place but I think that the Polish have the sports legacy to organise a SOG. But bumping Beautiful Budapest and Pitoresque Prague (as privileged cities of their natural and historical beautiness) for a more static Warsaw is another issue. The Polish have organised a lot of sport organizations in the last 10 years from Basketball to Canoeing.
Maybe they have to organize at least an Atletics and Aquatics world championships to root their possible bid in the future.

Voted for Budapest, but it will go to Russia before the statelittes. Probably St. Petersburg.

Guess that means you won't be getting the nod to help out with the Orel-Bryansk bid for 2024 after all Baron...oh well.
