Agree with Melbourne, Buenos Aries, Denver, Los Angeles, Toronto, Oslo, Krakow, Singapore, Shanghai, Almaty and Beijing. They won't have 3 South African Olympics near to each other. They will probably go to Durban in 2028. Then maybe 2040 or 2044, they would go back to Africa but with Morocco or Nigeria. 3 South African Games would need at least 16-20 Years seperating each. So Durban 2028, Cape Town 2048, Johannesburg 2064. I know the Prediction is too far away. but at least it adds spice to the forum. New Zealand has more chance with a Summer Olympics than a Winter Olympics IMHO. I don't think Oceania, South America or Africa will host a Winter Olympics for a while. Also, I recon by late 2030's or 2040's, Dubai will host a Summer Olympics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With the African and South American candidates it won't mean the cities will be close each other. -Considering that Nigeria is close of a civil war between north and south, it's out of the consideration. Even Kenya has better chance, and that's a big dark horse. It's South Africa and maybe Morocco. -Unfortunally NZ is out for a Summer Olympics Games, especially for a small city like Christchurch. First, Christchurch is a very small city by SOG standards, with only 380.000 habitants in the METROPOLITAN AREA; if any case, Auckland is the ONLY candidate, and still they will probably lose. The only SOG host countries with small populations -Less than 11 mill.- are Finland, Australia (In 1956) and Greece -And Finland was an exception: A neutral country between the confrontation West-East in the beginning of the Cold War (1952)-. This is also another minus for all the Dohas/Bakus. New Zealand is a country with only 4,5 millions, even with the consideration of being a rich country, the cost of a SOG is huge and unsustainable for the average joe and the logistics is a nightmare. In that consideration, unless the IOC really drops the high bar for a SOG -Which won't happen with the clear competition and bigger candidates-, for NZ is the WOG or nothing. - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony E Loves Architecture Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 I've changed my mind slightly: EUROPE: Summer: (Rome, Italy), (Paris, France), (Berlin, Germany). Winter: (Oslo, Norway), (Stockholm, Sweden), (Krakow, Poland). ASIA: Summer: (Shanghai, China), (Singapore, Singapore), (Dubai, United Arab Emirates). Winter: (Almaty, Kazakhstan), (Sapporo, Japan), (Beijing, China). AFRICA: Summer: (Durban, South Africa), (Casablanca, Morocco), (Abuja, Nigeria). Winter: - NORTH AMERICA: Summer: (Toronto, Canada), (New York City, Usa), (Mexico City, Mexico). Winter: (Denver, Usa), (Quebec City, Canada), (Salt Lake City, Usa). OCEANIA: Summer: (Melbourne, Australia), (Wellington, New Zealand), (Sydney, Australia). Winter: - SOUTH AMERICA: Summer: (Buenos Aires), (Santiago, Chile), (Lima, Peru).

runningrings Posted January 31, 2014 Report Share Posted January 31, 2014 Wellington is about the same size as Christchurch and hemmed in by mountains. Seriously Tony, what's the point in putting so much energy into pontificating like this if you can't even be bothered to do some very basic research and critical thinking?

Roger87 Posted February 1, 2014 Report Share Posted February 1, 2014 Wellington has 900 more habitants that Christchurch and the topology is terrible. If that's the case, Auckland is the ONLY NZ potential city and still have an uphill battle. Again a SOG in New Zealand needs to change the prospects of the bids and lack of REAL competition. Meanwhile is only an utopic dream. And Abuja... They can't get a proper bid for the Commonwealth Games and the city is chaotic with lack of real infrastructure.

Only Auckland could ever host an Olympics for New Zealand AND THEN only if 2040 (has been looked at) or beyond...NZ needs another two million people. Sorry to say, but the next Oceanic city will be Melbourne or Brisbane. Don't even bother with the OWGs, those are NOW too big for what NZ would get little gain out of. We barely can front a team. And only a silver for its entire OWG history. Edited February 13, 2014 by Alexjc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vrysxy Posted February 16, 2014 Report Share Posted February 16, 2014 In North America i'd say; NYC, Chicago, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Seattle, Miami, Boston, Philadelphia, Dallas, DC and Denver for Summer Olympics. For Winter Olympics... Seattle, Denvre, Anchorage, Boston, Reno, Anchorage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And only a silver for its entire OWG history. So if the Winter Olympics are off (for many reasons) and the Summer Games too, why doesn't Auckland go for the YOG? A YOG centred on Albany would be awesome. I think if NZ is not careful, attention craving Queensland will jump on it. I can't see Melbourne or Sydney bidding for it.

Bronze Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Winter Games: Asia: I'm interested in a bid from Almaty. Eventually I'd imagine it'll go back to Sapporo or Nagano. Europe: It's been a long time since the Winter Games have been in Austria/France/Switzerland. Davos/St. Moritz? North America: Anchorage could be cool, but I'd like to see a New England bid. Boston and...somewhere? Albany/Mt. Snow? Summer Games: Asia: After Tokyo, Hong Kong. 20 years down the line, who knows, maybe Bangkok will be developed enough. Europe: Paris. Maybe Amsterdam, Budapest, Kiev, or St. Petersburg some day. North America: Washington, DC. Maybe Miami or San Juan, in 30 years. Africa: It's hard to know who will be developed enough to support a games in the future. It'll be a while. Oceania: Different problem from Africa. It'll also be a while, though. South America: Eventually, Cali. But that's a long way off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ripley Posted February 25, 2014 Report Share Posted February 25, 2014 Summer Games Europe: Istanbul, Paris or Berlin - any of these would be good hosts N America: NYC or Toronto S America: Santiago if its big enough. Argentina is an economic basket case otherwise Buenos Aires would be a prime candidate Asia: Shanghi - after Tokyo 2020 I'm not really confident that any other country could cope or is stable enough apart from China Africa: Cape Town Oceana: Melbourne or Brisbane Winter Games Europe: Oslo, Munich or a suitable city in Sweden N America: Denver S America: not sure about their winter capabilities Asia: Harbin or Almaty Africa: N/a Oceana: Christchurch assuming there is resources to rebuild the earthquake damage and build a winter sports complex Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No chance. You think Busan would Host a Summer Olympics before Shanghai, Manila, Taipei or Kuala Lumpur? No chance. You think San Francisco would Host a Summer Olympics before Los Angeles or Toronto? No chance. South America: Buenos Aires I agree with. Or maybe Santiago or Lima. Oceana: Melbourne I agree. Africa: Durban I agree. Winter: Europe: Oslo I agree. You think Harbin would host a Winter Olympics before Sapporo or Almaty? You think Salt Lake City (who hosted recently in 2002) would host before Quebec City or Denver? No chance.

Suffers from a serious Terrell-Gaye problem. You really ought to be more careful before blasting other people's opinions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
