I remember hearing about the legislation last year, but I never found out what came of it A worldwide search is on to fill the CEO position and then it will be complete. That announced a couple of months ago so I’m guessing they will be at the interview stage by now withhan announcment not far off. As for the other nembers of the BOCOG, several announcements have been mad3 over the last few months of different appointments so I’m guessing the CEO position is the last and biggest one to complete the Committee. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Africa can hope to host is 2040. Maybe they will have muted those noisy vuvuzelas!! Or maybe they'll continue the "down under" (south of the equator) Summer Olympics every 16 years trend. So that means Durban 2048 then! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victorian Posted March 28, 2022 Report Share Posted March 28, 2022 Went to Brisbane over the weekend. Such a beautiful city. It gave me goosebumps thinking that the city will host the Olympics in 10 years time! Was impressed with the public transport including the bus stations! We dont have bus stations in Melbourne! Would be good to see the new cross river rail especially the new Gabba station. The Gabba is really a bottleneck so anything to make it better will be good! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Glad you were able to make it up there Victorian and check things out after missing out on being there last July for the host announcement dueto the previous border restrictions. Yes it’s a great city and will put on a great Games. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustralianFan Posted March 31, 2022 Author Report Share Posted March 31, 2022 A much needed heavy rail link to/from the Sunshine Coast anyway and from which spectator transport during the 2032 Games will also greatly benefit if this happens.

The only problem is, both Pickhaver and Doyle are getting a bit long in the tooth. It’d be nice to see them hang on to 2032 to make an encore though.
