Victorian Posted January 20 Report Share Posted January 20 Looking at the list, and the lineup of future hosts being Asian 2020/21, Europe 2024, Americas 2028, Oceania 2032, it is fair to say that any of these options would be a possibility but probably more so Asia especially with the 2024-2026-2030 Olympics all going the way of Europe. I like to see countries and to extension cities that haven't hosted the Games before get a chance to host and showcase their city to the sporting world. For this reason, I would take China out of the mix although I know they are a very viable host, I am just sick of seeing Chinese sporting Games opening ceremonies with the World Games, Universiade, Asian Games, Olympics.. the list goes on! Egypt would be a chance for an African games but security would be an issue - I think depending on the success of the YOG in 2026 could help/harm Egypts bid for the Olympics. Germany would be a great host however they need to get the public onside. Hungary would be one of my preferred locations. They may be a smaller location but like Brisbane 2032, it is possible. They have also successfully staged many World Aquatics events and are hosted the World Athletics Championships well. India did a sub-par hosting effort of Delhi 2010 CWG and that would harm their bid however I would like to see them host the 2026/27 or 2030 Commonwealth Games first to give them another crack to see if they can improve and if that is a success then they can get the Olympics. Indonesia's bid went downhill when they pulled out of the World Beach Games in Bali last year with such little notice. Qatar - money talks... South Korea - would host a great games like they did for the WOG in 2018 and now in the 2024 YOG Turkey - I think Turkey would be able to stage a great games if the security issues are sorted out. UK - If Lord Coe is IOC President, I can see this almost being a given. The UK never fails to deliver with multi sport events. London 2012 was probably the best Olympic Games ever. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Qatar would need to somehow bring about an almost impossible change to the July/August hosting window to around December or November when it ‘s cooler. Its hard to see that happening.

FYI Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 On 1/17/2024 at 10:49 AM, Guilga said: Firstly, your question. I would suggest hiring a psychic to read Bach's mind, as it is currently the only real indicator of anyone having a chance of hosting under the New Norm, That's actually very good advice for them. Since they're always the first ones to direct you to "you should ask Lausanne that or direct your concerns to Bach & Co." whenever others have had concerns/doubts about any IOC (new-norm) PR announcement spins. On 1/17/2024 at 10:49 AM, Guilga said: Now, I have a question for you. What's your age, I'm guessing young for being as vocal as you are with such, let's say, passion by the IOC new rulings, in a way that sounds a bit too optimistic at best. Honestly, I hope you grow as a person and see that times trying to be the forum owner as an silly time with some moments that you regret in cringe by trying too hard to get attention. A forum is made of what the community wants, not by aggressively pushing the conversation into what you want. And for better or for worse, this includes listening to things that you don't like or are plain out stupid. Except that they're not young (like some silly kid), since they've admitted themselves on here before that they're in their "mid-60's". So unfortunately for the rest of us here, they haven't done much 'growing up' in all that time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now whether or not they're telling the truth in that instance (since, you know, they put so much spin on stuff in relation/agenda to whatever it is they're yapping about at any given moment), is another story.

FYI Posted January 27 Report Share Posted January 27 ^However, that said, I seriously doubt that they're some silly kid on here stirring trouble. I actually take them at their word (due to all their rhetoric on here, good or bad, but mostly bad) about their (older) age in this case.

AustralianFan Posted August 10 Author Report Share Posted August 10 IOC Considers Change to Hosting Window to Autumn Big news. Yes, due to climate change, the IOC is considering changing the Hosting Window from July/August to Autumn. If this major change in IOC Hosting Window Policy goes ahead, I’m assuming that this be officially be adopted by the IOC in time to affect the 2036 race where the number of interested parties is in “double digits”. As recently as April this year the IOC President confirmed that the 2036 bid cintenders were in “double digits” So a change or an extension of the July/August window into Autumn boosts the number of viable interested parties in the 2036 race for Olympic Games. Previoisly not viable due to their extremely hot July/August temperatures, countries like Qatar are back in it if this major climate driven change in IOC hosting window policy goes ahead. The *list below of who are suspected to be in this double-digit list of interested parties for 2036, will need to be reassessed for their viability to host the 2036 Games in the light of this change in hosting window policy that the IOC has flagged. It’s true, we on the outside do not know if critical financial guarantees would come from the governments of these interested parties to host a 2036 Games. But an Autumn 2036 Games policy certainly opens the field up more and improves the viability of some of these: 1. China 2036 2. Egypt 2036 3. Germany 2036 4. Hungary 2036 5. India 2036 6. Indonesia 2036 7. Qatar 2036 8. Saudi Arabia 2036 9. South Korea 2036 10. Turkey 2036 11. UK 2036 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If IOC does a change on schedule all world sport timeline will change. so its kind a impossible.. do not just think its breakdance or wall climbing, we are talking about big guns, Football Volleyball Basketball Cricet Rugby leagues... İmpossible to do a break for 3 weeks in the mid of the season cause after the leagues the international leagues and championships will start.... No country like to do a change like this and loose money just for IOC demand. Also if climate chnage is the problem IOC has to focus on winter games more then summer IMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustralianFan Posted August 12 Author Report Share Posted August 12 Interesting excerpt about 2026 cities from the CNN report in the thread further below: Bidders for the 2036 Games “The next Summer Games will be in Los Angeles, a city whose temperature is pleasantly moderated by the cool Pacific Ocean. The Games of 2032 are set for Brisbane in the northern Australian state of Queensland, a city that gets so hot in the summer, it will hold the event during its winter in late July — ideal, given it’s summer then for much of the world. A Brisbane winter doesn’t drop far below 50 degrees.” “More than 10 countries have expressed interest in hosting the 2036 Summer Olympics, according to reports, but only six have made their bids public or official: India is bidding its western city of Ahmedabad and Indonesia its under-constuction new capital, Nusantara. Qatar is pitching Doha, while Turkey is bidding Istanbul. Poland and Chile are putting forward their capitals, Warsaw and Santiago.” At least half the cities bidding for the 2036 Summer Olympics could experience unsafe temperatures “Three countries — India, Indonesia and Qatar — in Asia and the Middle East want to host the 2036 Olympics, but their average temperatures in summer could exceed safe limits. Chile, where the Southern Hemisphere seasons are reversed, has the most optimal conditions, followed by Poland.“ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
