I know a lot of ppl here are tired to hearing Toronto, but I still want to know which city's win can be beneficial for Toronto in 2024? I'm thinking Madrid because it will knock out Europe in 2024 and Toronto will just have to contend with South Africa.

One could also say that an Istanbul win would hamper both Europe and Asia in the 2024 race.

Woohoo! I made a virtual $5000 profit!

In Topic: Doha's Reaction

Yesterday, 11:20 PM

I laughed at this quote by the Sheik:

Sheikh Saoud bin Abdulrahman al Thani, General Secretary of the Qatar Olympic Committee took the news well, he said “we will continue and we will not give up; sport is in our DNA*.”

* at least those Qataris with XY chromosomes, or come from East Africa, I think he meant!

Madrid does its homework consistently and presents great bids time and again unlike Istanbul's all over the place past bids; so it should be rewarded for that.

Sure ... as soon as a little bit more time's passed between it and Barcelona 92.

BTW - it's not just us ... most of the Olympic media commentary I've been reading lately is also writing off Madrid's chances ... at least outside the Spanish press.

In Topic: Doha 2020 Disappointed And Surprised Over Shortlist Elimination

I was disappointed and surprised when Qatar won the 2022 World Cup. So, good, we're even now!
