    Dude can you please do more research for this shit? Like I know it isn’t North America, but jesus christ. First of all Allianz Riviera stadium in Nice (pronounced niece), will not be the main stadium as it is located on the other side of the country, it will host some football matches though. Also what is strange about Italian mountains? They have two of the biggest skiing areas in the world, they hosted winter olympics twice, also I really wouldn’t describe Milano as obscure since it does have 8 million people. Oh and it’s not Bisbane, it’s Brisbane, spelled with an R

    The IOC has announced 'Preferred Hosts for the 2030, 34 and 38 Winter Games: 2030 - French Alps, 2034 - SLC, and 2038 -Switzerland
  • @flibbidyx2
    The IOC has already issued some statements about future Winter Olympics hosts. They have entered "targeted dialog" with France about holding the 2030 Winter Olympics in the Alps, designating them as the "preferred hosts," meaning it is all but a done deal. The same is true of Salt Lake City for 2034. Official announcements are set for just before the start of the 2024 Olympics this summer. Additionally, Switzerland is in "privileged dialog" with the IOC about hosting in 2038, making them the mostly likely selection for that year. The IOC noted the Swedish bid was missing a few requirements before they would proceed any further, but they do remain in discussion about potential future hosting.

    The main stadium for Paris 2024 is the Stade de France in Saint Denis. Nice Stadium (pronounced niece) is in southern France and will be used for football/soccer matches only
  • Calgary did not bid on the 2026 Winter Games. They explored a bid, put it to a plebiscite and it was shot down.
  • @joekabak2621
    It's Brisbane (with an R). And as someone who lives here the planning is a shambles. 3 years on from the announcement the main stadium plan is still not locked in and currently up for review.
  • @jeremyhelquist
    I’ve heard that the IOC is going to look at choosing 4-5 locations for hosting the Winter Olympics and then just cycle through them. Two reasons: Winter Olympics almost always lose money, so if a place had them before they have facilities and if visited more frequently can keep and maintain them cheaper than trying to build all new; they are looking at how climate change is affecting previous host cities so finding cities that show a regular/predictable winter.

    Vancouver, Canada again at some point? Quebec City? Toronto (summer)?
  • @danrhone9756
    I’m hoping Salt Lake City, Utah can get Winter Olympics by 2033. It’ll be interesting to see Paris France with the summer Olympics coming this summer. In 2028 I think Los Angeles Summer Olympics should dedicate the summer Olympics to Mary Lou Rettin. Mary Lou was the heart and soul of the 1984 Summer Olympics in LA
  • @terrycullen3302
    Would "Nice" not be pronounced like the city, so more like "niece"?
  • @Larson34
    I wouldn’t be surprised if Saudi Arabia gets a Olympic Games by 2050
  • @shilam
    Calgary did not bid and lose out. It held a plebiscite to go for the games and the no vote won the plebiscite.
  • @WDI2008
    Los Angeles, California will probably host again at some point for a fourth time .Same as London.
  • @delcodave
    i think they should divide the number of games in half and then have the games every year. there would be smaller olympics, but then you would be able to access smaller cities with smaller budgets for example 2042 - winter olympics A (12 events, including X games) 2043 - summer games (20 events) 2044 - winter olympics (the balance of the events not played in 2042) 2045 - summer olympics (the balance of the events not played in 2043) then the cycle would start over. this would allow more events to be incorporated, like golf. by doing this, smaller cities (like philadelphia) could bid without going bankrupt.

    I think it’s worth noting that the IOC wants cities that have most of the infrastructure in place, since historically it has cost a lot of money and put cities in the negative. That’s why they went with Brisbane, because they had a lot of venues. London will likely get another one, and in terms of the US hosting again, LA, Miami, and Raleigh-Durham could host. LA is hosting the Olympics again and has A LOT of venues from the previous ones. Miami is a large international city now, has a large airport, hosts many major international events, and has lots of stadiums at their disposal, not to mention the hotels for the event. Raleigh-Durham probably has you scratching your head, but my justification would be the university system. The three major universities have over 22,000 dorms that can be used for participants. And in terms of venues, the three major universities means there is three of everything, plus some options in Greensboro if needed
  • @schnuurtchke
    FYI Sapporo did host the Winter Olympics in 1964, and it’s Brisbane not Brisbane
  • Milan a weird host city? Yeah, surrounded by mountains, indeed very strange!
  • @bicknell67
    Very odd that New York City has never hosted a Summer Olympics.
