International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach said on Saturday that the 2032 Brisbane Summer Games will be a significant event not only for Australia but for the entire Pacific region.
"I can say because I have been travelling in the meantime in the Pacific, that these Olympic Games will not only be Games in Australia, and for Australia, this will be an Olympic Games with the whole Pacific region," he said. Brisbane will become the third Australian city to host the Olympics, after Melbourne in 1956 and Sydney in 2000.
"We see now the Olympic spirit truly alive here in Brisbane and Queensland and Australia. And this will be the challenge for the next 10 years to keep this Olympic spirit as alive as it is and to reach out to the world," he said.
