Who is /sp/‘s pick?
>>158473541Oh right. Hamburg held a local level plebiscite to reject the Olympics in their city, but Munich didn't do such a thing.Doha should host the Winter Olympics just for the funny and to show even the last person how retarded all of this is.
>>158473541Obviously Ahmedabad, should be interesting
>>158473541>MunchLET'S GOOOOOOOOO!
I'd like it to be Budapest, but it probably won't happen
>>158473541Unfortunately, Doha and Ahmedabad are favorites, I'd say. Istanbul not too far behind. After that, I'd say Durban has the better chances than the rest due to muh Africa Everyone else has little chance. Germany is a total pushover, I don't think the IOC treats our pussy executives in earnest, and they surely don't smell big profits in our dying countryI think it's a travesty that Germany hasn't hosted anything, not even the Winter Games, since 1972. Basically everyone of note hosted since then, multiple times in some cases. But we'll never win anything ever again in any field anyway, I reckonPersonally, I would have preferred Hamburg (their 2024 plan seemed better than the 2036 one to me) or Cologne/Rhine-Ruhr as candidates, but well, at least it's not Berlin
>>158473541It's like to see Munich out of that list, but it's probably gonna be Ahmedabad or Doha. I still want Canada to host again, our previous three games were all exceptionally Kino.
>>158473541Budapest or Istanbul I guess
>>158473541Where's Norf England? Burham out
>>158473541durban probably or istanbul. korea is a boring part of korea.
>>158473541>indiakek>budapestmy pick>dohaboring but if nothing else, it will show they can hold the summer olympics in december (opening the door for melbourne to host again or perth next time)>durrbanthe time for seth efrica was during apartheid. moment's gone now, country is fucked and getting worse>istanbulit will probably be this. they've wanted it for a while>eunichgay>north jeollaliterally where? anyway worst korea can go fuck. kpop is shit, buldak noodles are shit, everything korean is shit.
>India's big city is called Ahmedville LMAO
Munich or Budapest would be my preference, maybe Durban or Istanbul in my second tier just for time zone reasons.
>>158473541Istanbul must win
>>158479075The only time the Olympic host city really matters is the opening and closing ceremonies when they showcase the history of the country hosting it. For that, I really think Budapest and Istanbul are the only worthwhile candidates. Nobody gives a shit about the history of Doha or Durban.
>>158480051That’ll probably be 2040. Can you imagine thousands of tourists from all over the world trying to get a train from Manchester to Leeds on our current infrastructure?
>>158484216You think it's going to be better in 15 years?
>>158484216>>158484236Takes 50 years and a decade of GDP to build a bus lane round here
>>158473541I'm ready for >our bid to lose to India's and Qatar's because they have a lot of lobby behind them and will either bribe the IOC or can count on tons of greedy businessmen smelling future profits in a huge marketI can also somewhat imagine Istanbul winning, it doesn't have as many support factors, but Istanbul is a great city and I am sure Turkey will throw their weight behind that bid as wellLosing to South Korea would make me very mad, they already hosted in 1988 and also had Winter Games recently, having them host three Games before we get another shot would piss me offDurban also makes me mad since South Africa is a total shithole and only has this annoying "muh equality for Africa" shit, but that might actually make them have a chanceBudapest is a nice city, but I cannot imagine them winning since Hungary is too irrelevant at the end of the day. Losing to them would confuse me, but I guess I could live with their win, they at least don't offendIn 2036, it'll be 64 years since we hosted. Come on, we need this. But yeah, we'll probably fuck it up again
hope this site dies by thencan't endure another simplympics
>>158473541India would be great because of the opening ceremonial and their insane meme potential

>>158473541I just had a look at the wiki page from when Indian held the Commonwealth Games in 2020 so that I could quote it, and almost everything has been cut.It used to mention poor facilities, rat droppings in athlete facilities and an Indian minister claiming "we have a different approach to hygiene".I just found a thread from 28 days ago where I was commenting the article, along with othershttps://archive.4plebs.org/sp/thread/158101126/#158107362https://archive.4plebs.org/sp/thread/158101126/#158101168It's fucking scary how much can get scrubbed off the net in such a short space of time.
Some examples of what was scrubbed from the wiki article :>Small monkeys roam Delhi's streets and prefer heavily urbanized areas with plenty of living space among the buildings and cannot be killed because many Indians see them as sacred. A larger, domesticated species of monkey, the langur, was brought to the Games Village to scare away the smaller monkeys.>>On 21 September 2010, a footbridge under construction for the Games near the Jawaharlal Nehru Stadium collapsed, injuring at least 23 people who were working at the structure,[77] mainly workers, underscoring fears of poor workmanship. Commenting on the incident, the then Chief Minister of Delhi Sheila Dikshit controversially remarked that the footbridge was only meant for spectators and not for athletes.[78] Following the collapse, Fennell expressed again the concerns that conditions at the Games Village, which had "shocked the majority", would seriously compromise the entire event.[79] The company that was building the foot bridge, P&R Infraprojects, was subsequently blacklisted by the Delhi Government and was not allowed to get government contracts.[80]>New Zealand, Canada, Scotland and Northern Ireland have expressed concern about unliveable conditions.[54] The Times of India newspaper reports that the leaders of the Scottish delegation apparently submitted a photograph of a dog defecating on a bed in the games village.>The chef of Scottish mission said that there was "excrement in places it shouldn't be" in the athletes' quarters and that members of visiting delegations had to clean up the unsanitary things.[56]>Lalit Bhanot, the secretary general of the Organising Committee, rejected the complaint that sanitation was poor by saying that, due to cultural differences, there are different standards about cleanliness in India and the western world, a statement for which he was widely ridiculed in all over the world.[58]
>On the first night of swimming events, debris landed in the swimming pool, causing delays ahead of a race. It is believed that part of the ceiling or its paint had fallen off.>Before the last night of swimming finals, the water filtration system broke down and the pool was turbid and murky during the warm-up session and the finals; it was described as the least clear ever seen for a swimming competition until the 2016 Summer Olympics. A disproportionate number of swimmers from Australia and Malaysia fell ill with intestinal infections, leading to concerns over the cleanliness and sanitation of the pool.[62]>The Australian team's chief doctor, Peter Harcourt, ruled that the "chances of the [Delhi] pool being the cause of the problem is very remote" and praised the hygiene and food quality in the Delhi Games Village.[64] He suggested that it could be a common case of Traveler's diarrhea (locally called Delhi belly)This is what used to be on the wiki pagehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2010_Commonwealth_GamesThis wasn't everything that was negative on the page btw, only a sample. It's quite scary how much information can be spirited away in such a short time frame.
>>158485325you meant this pagehttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Concerns_and_controversies_at_the_2010_Commonwealth_Gamesit's all still there
>>158483928Turks are subhuman garbage
>>158485453Ah, thank you. I thought I was going crazy for a second.
