the_engineer 1,415 Posted September 9, 2013 Well Tokyo has been awarded the 2020 games so obviously amongst the considerations of the IOC is not which city is most likely to be attacked by Godzilla. I'd think Japan, and so Tokyo, has a radiant future. It seems that future has also escaped the IOC's attention. regards, Hein by radiant you mean nuclear radiant ? I think they wanted to give it to turkey but with the riots ,civil war next door in syria and the fact Istanbul's infrastructure is no where near a high enough standard was the reason Tokyo got it. I have a feeling that these are the next host cities: paris 2024 usa 2028 Argentina 2032 turkey 2036. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think the next four might be Germany 2024 (Berlin?) USA 2028 (New York) Africa 2032 (Not sure where but I think they would want to go there) Scotland 2036 (With life president Alex Salmond parachuting in to the opening ceremony) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CaptainChorizo 1,991 Posted September 14, 2013 I don't think a country of 5 million and about 65-70 km's can afford to bribe IOC the highest amount can handle the infrastructure the best. Scotland in 2036 or ever seems unlikely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

charon 4,943 Posted January 25, 2016 Ah, was thinking Ali's daughter had been in Olympics. Duh. Bit it will be now. Relay? Always has been when east Germany was in the go. Lunchbox ahoy. Will save hassles for the likes of Murtola and Whitbread I suppose. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RoverAndOut 4,755 Posted April 16, 2016 Posted this in the Olympic deaths thread but guess it makes sense here too. France reports a 'London 2012 curse' following the deaths of 18 athletes who took part in the games in the subsequent 4 years. Full list of those cursed included in the article, complete with helpful details of their cause of death: http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/magazine-36055238 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't see a curse here and I'm sure the numbers were similar for all previous Olympics. France is just more sensitive towards Olympic athlete deaths since the helicopter crash last year. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
