IOC’s Future Host Commission recommended that the body enters “targeted dialogue” with Brisbane bid organisersIOC president Thomas Bach said while the decision is not final, the executive board agreed unanimously with the recommendation to open exclusive talks with Brisbane about hosting the Games in 2032, praising Brisbane’s “very advanced” bid plan.
The bid would be focused around Brisbane and Gold Coast, which both already boast extensive sporting infrastructure. Gold Coast held the 2018 Commonwealth Games, while Brisbane boasts 21 sports venues. The IOC has since set up its Future Host Commission, which analyses bids before recommending its preferred option to the executive.The Australian Olympic Committee welcomed the announcement of Brisbane as the preferred candidate, as the country takes a major step towards hosting another Games 32 years after they arrived in Sydney.
“Previously, the IOC’s Future Host Committee has been in ‘Continuous Dialogue’ with the Brisbane candidature which examined Queensland’s capacity to host an Olympic Games.” The IOC said in a statement: “The decision to advance the process was taken at this particular moment, given the uncertainty the world is facing right now. This uncertainty is expected to continue even after the COVID-19 health crisis is over.
Bwahahaha, what, with robots?
The head line should read BREAKING QLD to build 2 dams and Project Iron Boomerang. This will pay off Queensland debt and allow us to look to host the 2036 Olympic games.....
There go fundings for North and Western Queensland.
Yep.....now just 11 years to fix their Quarantine system.
But they can’t afford to pay their residents quarantine bill to NSW. I hope she doesn’t get it.
Please explain who we won it from? '. There are no official candidate cities campaigning before the vote as has been the case in the past.'
Why does everyone have to whine about everything?! FFS 🤦🏻
I did paid research on this. 9/10 wanted it to we learnt the cost. 9/10 then said absolutely NO. So what do the politicians do? Unreal.
Unbeatable position given most countries have come to realise there is little to be gained from hosting such an expensive event.
They’d want to change their gvt if they want a chance of being able to afford it. Otherwise we’ll all be paying for it with a federal hand out.
Waste money.
God I really hope not. Brisbane is too small, too boring, too empty to host the Olympics.
Pay your debts first.
The Olympic Games will be long gone by then, cancelled permanently
Is it worth it? What have cost/benefits analyses shown for the last 3 Olympics internationally?
Just hope we get pipped at the post and voted out. Waste of further Qld debt money!
Redevelop the Gabba as the Olympic stadium please 🙌🙌
Maybe we can make KP24 ambassador for the Brisbane Olympics
But...but... Greta said the world will be destroyed by 2032!
2032 there will be no female athletes. It’ll be men and female transgender athletes
Brisbane 2032! Would be fantastic for Brisbane and our state. 🙂
Don't, its the biggest waster of public money ever. All the effort and money spent just for two weeks.
So long as QLDers don’t mind their massive debt getting bigger and organisers can schedule around daily afternoon thunderstorms then it should be fun 🤩
Yaaay! Let's lose money on a political vanity project as we're so much in debt already!!!
Beach volleyball at Surfer’s, surely.
Gotta start building infrastructure right now for that
Love Ya Brisbane! The might have to dust off that smaltzy 80s number and rework it! brisbane brisbaneolympics
It will depend on whether Anastasia still has the border shut.
