khaled Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 I was wondering what info you guys have about the bids that withdrew from the 2000 bid race? Tashkent 2000, Brasilia 2000 and Milan 2000. I'll see what I can find too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Nothing. They just chickened out. What else is there to find out if a bid folds early?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord David Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Brasilia was eliminated after the IOC's visit to the city (it didn't have it's metro even started, nor an upgraded airport for example). Milan withdrew after releasing its bid books. Tashkent was an obvious non starter, the new Uzbekistan nation just wanted to voice their new independence.

thatsnotmypuppy Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Tashkent basically announced a bid and that was it. Jeremie searched the Olympic Library for me and it appears they did not produce any written literature about their plans - not even a brochure. Milan dropped out when it became obvious CONI were not 100% behind the bid (Rome had already announced their 2004 intentions back in 1992). Brasilia was an interesting case. They didn't submit a proper bid book - more of a collection of photo books and venue renderings. They were basically told by the IOC that they were not a suitable host. That is pretty much it.

thatsnotmypuppy Posted September 21, 2014 Report Share Posted September 21, 2014 Here is the IOC 2000 Evaluation report (Milan had dropped out by this point). Brasilia starts at page 17. http://issuu.com/thatsnotmypuppy/docs/2000evaluationreport/0 I don't think the IOC has ever been so blunt with a bidding city...

The praise for Sydney was very obvious, maybe that is just me looking with hindsight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ofan Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 The praise for Sydney was very obvious, maybe that is just me looking with hindsight. Probably. I'm sure Beijing received as much praise seeing as it was the closest bid race ever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intoronto Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Tashkent bid, to get attention to the country and city (remember this was right after independence). They planned to build a man made lake on the border with Tajikistan for sailing (IIRC). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord David Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Of the post Soviet states, I can see Almaty (for a Winter Olympics), Baku (for a Summer Olympics) and possibly Ashgabat (for a Winter Olympics). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You "can see" failed bids? How is that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victor Mata Posted September 22, 2014 Report Share Posted September 22, 2014 Brasilia's pathetic bid was obviously a no go from the start. It was pushed ahead by the first directly elected (and first kicked out) government after 21 decades of military dictatorship to show off the new country despite the dire economic troubles Brazil faced during the early 90's. The 2019 Universiade will be a headache there... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beijing received some, but you could tell that the report favored Sydney a lot more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
