Tony E Loves Architecture Posted December 22, 2013 Report Share Posted December 22, 2013 Potential Candidates for 129th IOC Session Host. Possibly another Bid from Lima, Peru after losing out to the 127th IOC Session 2015 which Kuala Lumpur won. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eternalcobi Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Independently from the most heat-stoppin' (Bids for Olympic hosts as the purpose of this site's existence) But San Juan must go as the host city for the session (HL of Richard Carrion, and yes, the infamous 2004 bid.) The Convention Centre in Condado can serve as the locale where the whole session takes place, especially if the majority of the support comes SOLELY, from the Popular Democratic Party, and NOT the New Progress Party.

yoshi Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Why is this a Congress? They haven't long had one, have they? Is this where Bach plans to get his reforms through perhaps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony E Loves Architecture Posted December 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 Why is this a Congress? They haven't long had one, have they? Is this where Bach plans to get his reforms through perhaps? The last Congress was in 2009 in Copenhagen, Denmark, the same location that Rio de Janeiro were selected as Host of the 2016 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games.

yoshi Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I don't know much about the difference between session & congress, could it just be that the session becomes a congress every 8 years then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony E Loves Architecture Posted December 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I don't know much about the difference between session & congress, could it just be that the session becomes a congress every 8 years then? I think a Congress is when the IOC makes more detailed decisions, like finance e.t.c, I'm guessing, whereas the Olympic Host City Decision is in the Session.

baron-pierreIV Posted December 29, 2013 Report Share Posted December 29, 2013 I think a Session is when only the 110 or so IOC members attend. A Congress involves bringing the 200+ NOC's PLUS the active Federations in the 2 sets of OGs together and involving a wider range of issues. So a Congress might have nearly 500 people attending whereas a Session if just the core body of the IOC (plus all their staffers). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony E Loves Architecture Posted February 10, 2014 Author Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 According to Wikipedia, Doha, Qatar will host the 129th IOC Session and Congress in 2017, where the host of the 2024 Summer Olympics will be announced. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IOC_Session Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StefanMUC Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Yes, Wikipedia is easily editable. That's why it should never be the single source for such statements. I'm sure we'll know the host by a pompous IOC press release and not by a Wikipedia edit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quaker2001 Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 To be fair, I did see the page before it was edited and it did have Doha listed. But this is Wikipedia we're talking about.

baron-pierreIV Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Tony, I don't always believe you; but I have better things to do with my time than try to make you look bad. You already do most of that on your own. Anyway, how can 2017 be for Doha if they are planning to bid?? That 'rumor' just doesn't make sense.

Well the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics Host decision will be held in Lausanne, and Lausanne is Bidding. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 Well the 2020 Winter Youth Olympics Host decision will be held in Lausanne, and Lausanne is Bidding. True. But Lausanne might be diff becuz it is the hometown of the IOC; so there's no escaping that it is a local bid. But for the bigger prize, they always try to find a neutral site and country to host that session's selection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But for the bigger prize, they always try to find a neutral site and country to host that session's selection. I actually agree. Sorry to go off topic, but Baron can you empty your inbox, I need to message you. Back to topic, I would like to see Oceania host a IOC Session, probably New Zealand. Because, apart from the sessions held in Games years, Africa hosted Durban 2011, Asia will host Kuala Lumpur 2015, Europe hosted Copenhagen 2009, North America has had Olympic Games, South America hosted Buenos Aires 2013. I know Australia (Oceania has hosted the Olympics), but Auckland in New Zealand should and could host a IOC Session. With Australia and New Zealand being the strongest countries in Oceania, it could help boost New Zealand for a Commonwealth Games, or even a Summer Olympics in the future.

Sir Rols Posted February 10, 2014 Report Share Posted February 10, 2014 The only thing a session shows is that you have at least one hotel with an auditorium. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
