This is indeed excellent news and proof that it is possible to put forward technically sound proposals that are responsible enough (from a financial and environmental stand points) to gain public support. I very much hope that Munich (or another German city but Munich has a soft sport in my heart) will host the Games again in a not too distant future.

Doha is hosting a sh*tload of events in the upcoming years so it will be easy to check whether they welcome Israel delegations... and I bet they will.

What does this change with respect to the current situation? The point is that Indonesia (and any other country hosting a sport event) should ALWAYS allow all athletes who qualify to compete.

London 2012 Official Poster did not.

Regarding the design, you can clearly see the Duomo and the Dolomites on the Paralympic poster.

Love the Paralympic one. The Olympic one needs to grow on me.

Well in theory, interested parties for the organisation of the Games are requested to provide a guarantee that all accredited person with a valid passport should be granted access to the host country. But then I am sure Indonesia made some similar commitment when awarded the 2025 Gym World Champs...

Well the IOC was rather quick to react. Indonesia out of the dialogue for 2036 for now : IOC EB takes measures

According to Milano-Cortina 2026 social media platforms, the official poster(?s) should be unveiled in three hours. I am expecting something along the line of duality.

I would indeed love to see LA adopting a look colour palette close to the one developed in the bid phase.

Again : the deadline for agencies to submit brand identity proposals is October 25. If there is a strong proposal that gets approval from all stakeholders (the two regions, the French government-assuming there is one, the NOC, the NPC) then it will need submitted for approval to the IOC and IPC and in parallel anteriority check be conducted (depending on the design this alone can take a month or so). If all goes well, it may be possible to unveil the emblem during the handover but deadlines are very tight. As for Alberville legacy: - the Ice Hall in Albertville is hosting sport and entertainment events as well as exhibition - the Speed Skating venue is used as a multi-sports stadium, - the Ice Rink in Meribel is now a sport centre with an ice rink, a swimming pool, a climbing wall - Meribel’s Roc de Fer ski course hosted the 2023 Alpine Skiing World Championships - the Ski Jumping hill of Courchevel Le Praz is used as a training venue for the French National team and also hosts an event of the Summer Grand Prix each year. - the sliding centre in La Plagne is a regular host of bobsleigh and skeleton world cups. - in Val d’Isère, the “face de Bellevarde” ski course has hosted many Alpine Skiing World Cup as well as the World Championships in 2009 - the Nordic domain of Les Saisies is still open for practice for both cross-country skiing and biathlon and just hosted the national championships this year. - Tignes is one of France Freestyle skiing top spots. - the curling venue in Pralognan is now a sport centre with an ice rink, a curling ring, a bowling, a swimming pool, an indoor climbing walll.

Milano-Cortina is not planning its opening to make it bigger, it is planning its opening to involve all the athletes distributed over 4 zones. Maybe one should give a chance to the product and actually wait for the actual ceremony before making this kind of judgement? Once we have seen the opening you will be able to be your usual grumpy dinosaur whining about how everything was great in the 80s and 90s....

Reading the official press release, it seems Abuja is the "preferred bidder" for 2034.

You can find some of them on the Olympic World Library : Official programme (there are sport-specific programmes but also Official Programmes)

Genius...
