2029 Deaflympics

[Josh0108]

Back in July, the International Committee of Sports for the Deaf announced that two candidate cities were in the run to host the 2029 Games; Zagreb and Athens. They are going to announce the host in a couple of days.

• Zagreb has seemingly never bid before. They haven't hosted a major multi-sport event in years.
• Athens has apparently been bidding to host for the past two decades, having being outvoted by the winning city for the 2009 edition, and declining the hosting right for 2013 for economic reasons. They have previously hosted the 2004 Summer Olympics and the 2011 Special Olympics World Summer Games.

Who would you want to see host?

My guess would be Athens.

Athens have won the right to host the 2029 edition after beating out Zagreb.

@Josh0108, you forgot to mention the fact that Athens has hosted the first-ever modern Olympics in 1896.
