Not a huge fan i have to admit. I like the symbolism with the national animal and the traffic cone reference but it looks too generic and cheap. Oh well i suppose it does what it needs to do.

I agree with you on this. Atlanta is one of my favourite openings, but one of my least favourite cauldron lightings.

I don't think this terrible tragedy will do anything to hinder the 2036 hope. Those games are still 11 years away and crashes as such happen anywhere in the world.

Still 3 years to go, so I doubt that this will change anything with the hosting for 2028 unless the unrest turns into Civil War in the US.

Singapore, Malaysia, possible Jamaica

ORF didn't do the best of jobs in 2015 and their hosts were diabolical. I think they need to learn from their own mistakes first.

None of these give good vibes to be honest. India had the disaster of 2010, Canada and NZ have pulled out of bidding many times before. Nigeria, well enough said and South Africa.... Durban anyone?

The Jamaica Baton

Eh Beijing 2022 lol

One of the weakest years for songs in a very long time. The show is becoming very generic - made in switzerland was good but it felt like something that we see every year in melodifestivalen or a Swedish hosted Eurovision, even Petra was brought in once again...

Well it will be third time actually as they were already duped by the Labour party at last years election... As unfortunately were a lot of Scots, but that is slowly being fixed with the recent successes of the SNP in bi-elections winning back their seats.

England will be under the control of Nigel Farage and his cronies in a few years time so any future bid may not be welcomed

London will be bidding for the 2029 World Athletics Championships

Nothing surprises me these days.... We will see most sporting events taking place in the kingdom and surrounding states over the next decades as money talks. Riyadh Season is the phrase these days.

The Grenada Baton

I don't mind it tbh..... I like the colours Shape wise, yeah it does look a bit like a vape or the top reminds me of those metal shot measures..

The St Kitts and Nevis baton

The Commonwealth Games Federation will be ejaculating all over this. Likely 2030 in India will become another 2010 and truly then the end of the games, after they trying so hard to reset in 2026... sigh!

oh well, my hope of going back to the bid process is destroyed

no news yet on ceremony venues

There are 74 batons

oh dear

Looks like the Baton is just a piece of wood... https://www.instagram.com/reel/DG3QwhNMxbC/?utm_source=ig_web_button_share_sheet

What about the rest of the sports?
