How can we watch the announcement? I was 15 in 2000…too young to travel alone to Sydney. I'll be pretty old by 2032 but I'm incredibly excited Australia will hold another summer Olympics.

the 7 website. I think it is going to be on TV from 6:30 as well
I’ve got a big house near the Gabba with a giant pool. Going to rent it out for 3000 dollars a night come olympics. Going to make 50 grand In 3 weeks.
i won’t be telling people the pool is unswimmable during that time a year cos it’s too cold.

the average low is 10. okay, that might be cold for people up North, and mild to everyone else but it is not exactly freezing.
Probably not fair for someone from Tassie to say something is cold or not to someone on Queensland. Your winter is our summer..
True its not Victorian cold. But it’s supposed to be a summer games. With people partying outside up late In bikini tops. Not huddling around fires in giant coats and rushing to get inside. No one is going to be swimming in the water. We had nights that got down to 6 degrees last week.
We won

yay....
I just hope they don't forget the rest of Australia exist. At least, when Sydney had it, they had football games in Melbourne. Would be special to see the first events hosted at the MCG and Stadium Australia(if is is still around).
I think we will know when the bye weekend/s will be in season 2032 for the AFL.
And Queensland, if you going to draw a map of Australia in your opening ceremony, try and remember Tasmania exists

Better book my air tickets
Amazing news
Sounds like it will just happen all over south-east Queensland (Brisbane, the Gold Coast, Sunshine Coast, Logan, Ipswich and Redlands)

7 were in an ad break. Maybe only on the app i don't know, but how does the Olympic broadcaster get that wrong??
Yeah this is queensland. They treat non Queenslanders as foreigners here.

yeah, that is what I am worried about.
Don't get me wrong, I am not asking for all the events to be held all over the country. Just the football(soccer) really.
It shouldn't be hosted in Cairns, for example, just because it is in Queensland. The Sydney 2000 tournament was hosted in 5 cities, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, Canberra and Sydney. I still remember the first game in Melbourne. 90K plus to watch Italy with a young Pirlo v the Olyroos. It was a great way to engage the rest of the country.

It wasn't hard to win, no other country wanted it, a financial black hole
They played a few games at the Gabba too

I'm glad they're going to be here, as posted earlier, there's a fair chance this will get my wife and I over the line in moving to Qld in a few years time.
How cringy was the reaction from Pallet-O-Shit and the others? There were no other bidders you dullards. Would Anna even know the difference between a discus and a javelin?

I recall vividly the moment the IOC President Juan Samaranch announced "and the winner is Sydney'' for the 2000 Games. I had taken my son into the CBD and we were among a crowd of thousands watching a big screen waiting for Mr Samaranch to announce the winning bid and when he did there was excited pandemonium. Much like Brisbanites did tonite when the current IOC President Thomas Bach announced the good news.Amazing news
There were 7 other countries that wanted it. We got it cos we had a guy on the inside. Coates was on the 1990s brisbane bid and will soon quit the olympics committee to join the Brisbane bid. This is a little unsettling. It feels a little like we cheated.

There were a number of others that showed an interest but none of the others were approved by the IOC to submit offical bids. It was a one horse race.

I think Anna-P will be disappointed when the world will say Brisbane, Australia has won the right to host the Olympics and not Queensland.
The world doesn't care about our sad little federation or our states, Queensland.
