AustralianFan Posted November 26, 2021 Author Report Posted November 26, 2021 The New Approach to Future Host Elections Shortly before COVID disrupted the world, IOC members took a decision that would ensure the future of the Olympic Games, even during the most challenging times. In 2019 the IOC Session voted to adopt a new approach to electing Olympic hosts which would enable the Olympic Movement to be flexible, to sieze opportunities that are in the best interests of the athletes and other stakeholders and to focus attention on projects that ensure long-term benefits for local communities and reflect global priorities such as sustainability, gender equality, human rights and inclusion. Removal of the 7-year rule These changes introduced a new level of flexibility by removing the rule in the Olympic Charter that the Olympic Games should be hosted by a single city and that host elections should take place seven years before the Games in question. Cities, regions or countries can join together This means that cities, regions or countries can join together to use existing venues for sustainability reasons.

AustralianFan Posted November 26, 2021 Author Report Posted November 26, 2021 IOC Rules were changed 2 years ago so that Summer Olympic Games can now only be held in July/August. Here is a 2019 story from “The Australian” below which reported on the IOC rule change. “The July/August Hosting Rule” “Australia’s southern capitals ruled out of Olympics bids” “Melbourne, Sydney, Perth, Adelaide and every Australian region outside southeast Queensland has been told they are effectively barred from ever bidding for an Olympics following the International Olympic Committee’s decision to always hold the Summer Games in July-August.“ “The 1956 Melbourne Games were staged from November 22 to December 8 and the 2000 Sydney Olympics from September 15 to October 1, but this latest ruling means such Games can never happen again.” Credit: The Australian - June 15, 2019 Quote

AustralianFan Posted November 26, 2021 Author Report Posted November 26, 2021 Day of the Opening Ceremony Melbourne, 22 November, 1956 “The date of the opening ceremony, drew closer, Melbourne was gripped ever more tightly by Olympic fever. At 3pm the day before the opening ceremony, people began to line up outside the MCG gates. That night the city was paralysed by a quarter of a million people who had come to celebrate”. Credit: The MCG Sydney, 15 September, 2000 Of the party atmosphere, Channel 7 Olympics commentator Bruce Macavaney famously said in the Opening Ceremony coverage: “they say there was a million people on the streets of Sydney last night”. Maybe not quite a million but the television coverage had an overhead shot of Samantha Riley holding the Olympic torch on top of one of the Sydney Opera House spires, surrounded by massive crowds right across to Circular Quay and the Sydney Harbour Bridge.

AustralianFan Posted November 26, 2021 Author Report Posted November 26, 2021 IOC Session - Day 1 - Olympic Games 2032 21 July 2021 Likely running sequence While this Vote on Brisbane will be the first single Host to be voted on under the new rules, it’s very likely to follow a very similar sequence to the low key double-awarding of Paris 2024 and Los Angeles 2028 at the same IOC Session. It was low key in 2017 because it was a rubber-stamping exercise not a traditional, tense firece rivalry amid a dramatic build-up to the final announcement. Review this 2017 IOC announcement on this official *Olympic Channel youtube video fully and freely available to the public: Credit: *IOC Session - Day 1 - Olympic Games 2024 and 2028 From that IOC Session in 2017, are strong clues as to how the Brisbane 2032 Session is likely to run, along these lines: 21 July 2021 - 138th IOC Session, Tokyo IOC President Thomas Bach invites the following two speakers to officially present the findings of the Future Host Commission - Brisbane 2032 Kristin Kloster Aasen - Chair Future Host Summer Commission Gilbert Felli - Olympic Games Executive Director (possibly) Q&A: IOC President Bach invites questions of the two speakers from IOC Members. IOC President Bach Invites Presentation from Brisbane 2032 Team and advises the Session that following the Brisbane presentation that the Session will immediately proceed to the Vote. The Brisbane 2032 Presentation will likely include video presentation/s and various speakers including the Premier of Queensland, the Mayor of Brisbane Adam Schrinner and the Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison via video. Pre-vote Procedures Briefing - IOC President Bach thanks the Brisbane 2032 Team and others who have contributed. President Bach advises the Session that a Vote for Brisbane 2032 is proposed to be by a show of hands and asks if any IOC Member objects to this. If no objections, the IOC President reminds the Session that in accordance with the IOC’s conflict of interest policies that Australian members of the IOC cannot take part in the Vote. If there is a “tie”,the IOC President has the deciding vote. Brisbane is elected with support from 51% of votes indicated by a show of hands. The Vote The IOC President invites by a show of hands by IOC Members to award Brisbane the 2032 Summer Games. Then asks if anyone is against to raise their hands, then asks if there are any abstensions. The Announcement: IOC President will either announce. (a) that the vote is clearly passed and Brisbane is elected, or (b) if a majority vote is unclear, he will call for a count of hands, or (c) if it is clear that a majority did not for Brisbane , then IOC President is expected to announce that the Vote is not passed, Brisbane is not elected and returns to the Continuous Dialogue phase (where the other 2032 Bidders remain parked). Host Contract Signing: If elected, the Brisbane 2032 team are invited to the stage to sign the 2032 Host Contract. Quote

AustralianFan Posted November 27, 2021 Author Report Posted November 27, 2021 Queensland Premier To Still Attend Tokyo Vote Barring a lockdown in the State of Queensland, it’s abundantly clear that the Premier Anastasia Palaszczuk will attend the IOC Session in Tokyo despite a petition which at last count was around 80,000 - very much a minority of a total state population of 5.185 million. Too much is at stake with the Premier, the leader of the State of Queensland and the primary head of government responsible for delivering the Games is highly likely to be involved in presenting and then signing the Host Contract. The Australian Government controls the borders and as the Australian Prime Minister is himself a member of the Brisbane 2032 Candidature Group, there is no way that they will give in to a minority petition such as this is. He is himself participating in the Presentation by video while his Sports Minister Richard Colbeck is attending in person and representing the Australian Government. There is also nothing indicating a shift away in public opinion of the majority of Queenslanders supporting the Bid and all the sporting opportunities, growth, jobs, economic stimulus that comes with it for this thrifty new age Bid. 10 days to go Brisbane’s date with destiny Quote
