zenica Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 skiing would be in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, about 50 km away from Munich. Soem other events would be in Konigsee (bobsleigh) and maybe another few little cities round Munich. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aronious Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 Isnt the Munich stadium getting torn down? Or so i heard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenica Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 Definitely no. They build a new stadium in the North of Munich which is for soccer only. The old Olympic stadium is now reserved for all other sport and culture events (i.e. Rolling Stones concert, MotoCross, SnowBoarding etc) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenica Posted December 25, 2005 Report Share Posted December 25, 2005 Berlin´s mayor Mr. Wowereit has announced that Berlin wants to bid for Summer Games. This should be 2020 or 2024. Realistic should be 2036. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 Berlin could do it again. One of the factors on whether the Berlin bid will do well to me is the 2009 World Athletics Championships, which will be held in the city. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IceNarcissus Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 I'm still waiting for other European countries to get their acts together before counties like Germany, France, Britain, Spain, and Italy host again. I'm talking about the tinier ones like Denmark, Portugal, the Czechs, Poland even. Just give me ONE good bid like that and I'll be happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenica Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 Unfortunately these "small" countries do not have the budget to host Summer Games, because of the huge costs (see my comment in the forum). Hosting OG´s seems to be privileged to the rich countries. The only way to bring the Games to the small countries is to bring costs down to an acceptable level.

krow Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 I think it's just struck our (well, krow's and puppy's anyway) fancy because of that incredibly unique building. Second to logos, GB'ders are so mesmerized by stunning buildings and will sell their mother to build an Olympic happening around a unique building. they just had a lot of money and the desire to become more globally recognized. an olympic games could do wonders for that city, but obviously there are major complications.

Stu Posted December 26, 2005 Report Share Posted December 26, 2005 Unfortunately these "small" countries do not have the budget to host Summer Games, because of the huge costs (see my comment in the forum). Hosting OG´s seems to be privileged to the rich countries. The only way to bring the Games to the small countries is to bring costs down to an acceptable level. There are quite a few smaller European countries that are capable to meet the costs of a Summer Games - Denmark is one of them, it's not a struggling economy at all and enjoys high living standards - the Netherlands, Belgium, Sweden and Norway are also counties that could afford to host the Olympics. What counts against these countries at the moment is that cities like Rome, Paris, Berlin, Madrid and London all have wanted the games recently - Copenhagen, Amsterdam, Brussels, Stockholm and Oslo just can't successfully compete against such cities despite having the financial capability.

zenica Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Sure, Belgium and Netherland not really seems to be interested in hosting Games. Sweden already failed 9 times. It´s a difference if a city really want the Games and not showing only interest. If they don´t really want nothing will change, the bid results will be the same. Without risk nothing happens.

Sir Rols Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Belgium and the Netherlands have shown lots of interest _ Amsterdam bid for 1992 and we often hear reports of the likes of Rotterdam eyeing a run for them in the 2020s. Ditto Brussels. Both of course, can only go for summer games, because they can't physically host a winter games (unlike Sweden _ the bulk of their nine failed bids was for the winters).

arwebb Posted December 27, 2005 Report Share Posted December 27, 2005 Remember also that Brussels was looking at a 2016 bid before the 2012 result was known, so don't be surprised if they enter the next real carve-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenica Posted December 28, 2005 Report Share Posted December 28, 2005 If Brussels or Amsterdam/Rotterdam want to get the Games than obviously 2024. But this will be a hot race. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenica Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Next year one of the candidates for Summer OG 2016 will do a step forward regarding a bid. One of these 3 candidates have excellent chances to win the bid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nykfan845 Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Is Dubai still planning a bid for 2016? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zenica Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 There is no official statement from Dubai but I think they will next year. Tokyo is one of my favorites and Chicago, as NY has failed 2012. Maybe they won´t get another chance for 2016. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sir Rols Posted December 29, 2005 Report Share Posted December 29, 2005 Dubai has not shown one shred on interest in bidding. I doubt it will ven be mentioned in proceedings. Tokyo, is of course, already a strong contender. I still think NYC is in the game. C'mon, sure it didn't win 2012, but that was going to Europe anyway. The fact it made it to the short list shows that it was a strong enough bid, and a 2016 bid would only be stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikel Posted December 30, 2005 Author Report Share Posted December 30, 2005 Dubai won't bid- they're in a conflictive zone and they've not the properly infrastructure yet... Tokyo will be a very strong contender. NYC (I think) will be the applicant city of the USA. They will be the runner-up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
