This is like 5 minutes walk from my house haha. I wish I could see the Olympics being held here in 2036.

They tried this pan-European hosting for Euro 2020 and it was the most boring sporting event ever. I know it was right after the pandemic but you would expect it to be alive since the world was starting to open. There was no soul since people kept moving from one city to another.

I am aware of that but Oklahoma City and Tahiti are only for one kind of sporting event. In this case, if I want to watch hockey, kayaking, rowing, cricket, and volleyball I would have to travel more than 2500 km. This is like hosting the Games in Istanbul, Sofia, Vienna, Luxembourg, and Paris.

Here is the map. I. couldnt add to my previous post.

These cities are not even close to each other. [url=https://ibb.co/NFC5K7v][img]https://i.ibb.co/NFC5K7v/Ekran-Resmi-2025-01-13-01-20-13.png[/img][/url]

The Mayor of Istanbul was on TV last night and said, ''We will bring the Olympic Games to Istanbul. We will bring it with a very special work.'' I can't wait for the plans to be released.

The GamesBids 2036 Host Discussion/Poll/Comp
texan replied to Sir Rols's topic in 2036 Olympic Games Bids
If that's true then IOC's future host commission chair is lying. Also, if the IOC is now giving away hosting rights without any voting or meetings just because a rich man promises to pay then, there is no point in attending this commercial event anymore. https://www.anews.com.tr/sport/2023/10/15/ioc-decision-on-2036-olympics-host-will-not-come-before-2026-ioc -
Oh nooo please don't ignore meee 😂 If you ignore me then what do you say about the LA and Tokyo comments above? I am very curious.

Watch your language. I am very confident with my geography skills. Since Rome hosted the Olympics again in 1960, I guess it was not a major problem. Here is the seismic hazard map of Europe and clearly Italy and Greece are under threat as much as Turkey and yet they could host several Olympics in history. Using a natural disaster as an anti-argument is seriously a horrible and inhumane thing to do. Shame on you. Just to give you an idea, Japan was awarded only 1-2 years after the Earthquake in Japan when Japan failed and their nuclear power plant started leaking into the ocean and they had to empty some cities and villages like Chornobyl. You ar just making up reasons because you know Istanbul's bid is pretty strong in terms of organization and infrastructure. Don't worry; the European Olympic Committee and the UEFA entrusted Istanbul for the 2027 European Games and the 2032 European Football Championship. The 2036 Olympics will be the crowning event of Istanbul. No other city deserves the Olympics more than Istanbul. Don't worry, Istanbul is the safest and most assured bet compared to the other boring bids

Oh, my comment was for Saudi Arabia but you meant South Africa. Anyway, still your comment does not make any sense. While you praise how Seoul has the metro and infrastructure to host on the other hand you are promoting South Africa which has nothing but football stadiums from the 2010 World Cup. Istanbul has everything and it is a new city to discover. Seoul should wait for another generation to host again and South Africa needs to build its infrastructure and prove that they don't build them just to host an event for 2 weeks.

You have not seen the Istanbul 2036 plans because you are not an IOC member. They held meetings with the IOC and soon the plans would be public as the selection process went on. RSA is in the Middle East hence it is West Asia hence it is definitely not Africa. Greetings to your geography teacher. Soul will not have the lowest venue and infrastructure expenditures as Istanbul also have everything built already. There is no other city in the world that builds 10 metro lines at the same time and by 2029 Istanbul will have the same number of metro stations as Seoul. Seoul had already hosted an Olympics. Now it is time to give chance to new cities like Istanbul. How is the World Cup and Olympics related? With this logic, Qatar 2022 already satisfied a Middle Eastern Olympics host lol and 2010 South Africa and 2030 Morocco satisfied the African Olympics... I don't see the connection. If the earthquake was a problem (This is a horrible and inhumane argument to use btw. Basically you are fortune-telling that oh there may be an earthquake so, you can't host anything major) then how did Athens, Rome, Tokyo host? I am very confident that Istanbul is leading the 2036 bid with its uniqueness and readiness.

Saudi Arabia and South Kore also ran against each other for EXPO 2030, and SA won. This time both will lose as Istanbul will get to host the 2036 Olympics

Currently, there is a rowing club and annual rowing race in the Golden Horn however even if the Golden Horn does not work there are many other places near Istanbul like Edirne on the border with Greece and Bulgaria. They are building a high-speed train to Edirne which will take only 1.5 hours from Istanbul to Edirne. I doubt finding a venue is a problem for Istanbul's bid. or in Ankara which could be reached with a 4 hour high speed train ride or one hour flight or by land:

Nooo, the unnecessary Canal will not be built. The opposition is extremely against this project, and I am, too. This could be a waste of money, and this gigantic budget could be used for some useful stuff.

Nothing is reminiscent about Istanbul 2036 and Athens 2004 except for a plan to use a former airport site for the Olympic Village. All of the venues in İstanbul are used and never turned into a waste. Please give me an example of how they are similar. In fact, they keep expanding the existing venues. Abdi İpekçi Hall hosted Eurovision in 2004 and the Basketball World Cup in 2010. They rebuilt this basketball complex which has a big basketball venue, hotel, museum, hotel, etc. The Atatürk Airport is literally in the city center, and it is planned to become an urban park. I believe they will not use it as the Olympic Village or build temporary buildings there.
