Topics I've Started

An Olympics in Poland or elsewhere in Eastern Europe?

13 December 2011 - 09:13 PM

I was hearing buzz about a possible OWG bid from Poland in the future and it got me to thinking: will we ever see the Olympics in Eastern Europe? True, the Olympics visited Sarejvo and will soon get to Sochi, but that is really about it.

I get Eastern Europe may not be as economically strong or as well developed as Western Europe, but lately, I have a bit of a yen to see an Olympics in the East. A Winter Games in either Poland, Bulgaria or on of the former Yugoslav nations would be cool and what about a Summer Games bit from Prague?

Those are the ones that spring to mind but are there any other cities out there I am not thinking of that may prove viable?

Opinions on Rogge's job as IOC head?

11 December 2011 - 10:40 PM

I'm curious, even if he does have at least two more Olympics to go, if a general opinion on Jacques Rogge's "reign" as IOC President has been formed. I see from time to time thoughts pop up on Brundage and Samaranch in particular, but not so much on the current President.

So, what do you all think? Good, bad, indifferent?
