A city like Budapest not having the hotel infrastructure in place somewhat blows my mind, NGL. If that's the case, that's something that should be remedied anyway. That would very much be a "everybody help everybody" move.

Thanks for response, I understand it better now. But yeah, that is why I put it under "future". So basically their realistic chance is if something goes south for Switzerland for 2038. 2042...........feels like it could be a good Almaty time, or I suppose they try Lake Placid again.......there's chatter of that again.

Okay, still trying to learn why that process failed. It was a bit confusing. Was it straight up just a referendum not looking good? I thought they tried to do it politically without a referendum somehow? (basically what Berlin is attempting)
-
Would the IOC ever accept it? Or would they tell Sweden to kick rocks? What were the biggest problems with the Sweden bid? Was it basically the security assurances?

I think Koln fans would eagerly make the case that their club could support a new stadium. Theyd hate the track around the pitch, but thats the price paid if it is an option.

In the super duper mega happy ending of the economic implosion, "something happens" to Putin and there is mafia and interclan warfare that tear the Russian federation apart and the Olympics is the last thing on their mind. If Putin calls for mobilization this fall as expected.........the possibility of that happening is not zero.

Thats why I said put in a bubble the genocide stuff, as much black humor as that is............focusing only on the doping alone, these dudes and gals are peeing neon green. From a purely sporting perspective, that is justification alone.

Im hoping Ukraine has just devastated the economy to the point where that is just economically infeasible. Their invasion has set them back decades economically. The gas lines are real, and those lines are about to be food lines in autumn and winter. REALLY hoping for another violent revolution

Woke up again, its still real. Not joking, I will be boycotting this olympics, and Im sure others will be too. Even putting the genocidal bombing apartment buildings and kidnapping kids thing in a bubble............. focusing JUST on the athletes. They have gotten in trouble for their athletes pissing neon green at least 1,247 times by now. Nothing's changed, nothing will change.

2036 Olympics: Crowded Field of Interested Parties
iceman530 replied to AustralianFan's topic in 2036 Olympic Games Bids
Cant build an Olympics when theyll be on the hook for Ukrainian reparations for..........who knows how long. -
yup, Budapest can really only go up now. I wonder what new government posture is on Olympics
-
I like to think that if Rome and Munich/Berlin are decently sure things that Istanbul is the next tier below, which is a decent security blanket. If Qatar/Saudi beat out any of the aforementioned, we can safely assume gold bricks were used. Istanbul could be crafty and build a decent games I think. The old airport grounds are absolutely a perfect place to revitalize and put a good portion of the venues.

It would be a profound blend of arrogance and stupidity to take a risk on Berlin when a great sure thing with Munich is sitting right there
