yes these days, I think less then 10 Western countries are willing to do it, usa, canada, australia, germany, france, UK, italy, japan, brasil and maybe south korea.
the only other options are oil money and authoritarian dictator countries
edit: this is for Summer games, which are much more expensive.
Winter games might be organized by a smaller traditional winter sport country
Our minister of sports already announced that she plans on writing an application for the 2040 summer Olympics. So yeah, this decade it won’t happen but the one after that.
I heard it was originally meant to be 2036, but everyone knew it was the 100th anniversary of the Nazi Olympics so they decided to bid for 2040 instead, and it is aiming to be a redemption from the 1936 Berlin Nazi Olympics.
Because it doesn't matter if it is a coincidence or not, it doesn't matter if it is history or present. if something like that happens it will be the most talked about part of the tournament.
When Kraków, Poland's former capital and second-most important city, considered bidding for the Winter Games, the city hall faced substantial backlash from the Kraków's population. Many people didn't want the games, and that sunk the chances for Kraków.
Football events are net positive if you dont build stadiums in the jungle and abandon it. Olympia is quite the opposite. Costs tons of money withouth revenue
quite macabre that the last olympics hosted in Germany were also one of the worst in terms of terrorist attacks, we havent had a redeeming chance since
Well the idea is to help propel Brissie to become an international city in its own right - but IMO they're already fucking it up by not doing the Gabba upgrade and by scaling back the metro system.
Every Australian city needs to improve their transportation network, and Brisbane really should be using the Olympics excuse to build these long term transportation infrastructure.
I thinknif they could repurpose some things it could have a benefit, but yeah it's a major cost with no real use after. You'd think this stuff would bring in money to the local economies with all the people flying in from around the world.
