2020 Summer Olympics / Games of the XXXII Olympiad bids - Page 221

For FIFA it's a different city, for the IOC it's apparently not. Who knows? It's only a few km from the centre of Doha anyhow, whereas the two Spanish cities are 70 miles away from one another. The comparison's a bit unfair on Doha really.

Alrayyan is right, Doha has much bigger things to worry about.

I voted for Baku

The rules are the same for all and can´t be twisted. Is not serious that the Lusail Stadium was in Al Daayen for the WC bid and in Doha for the Olympic bid.

Today in Marca (Spanish sport newspaper) the Lusail Stadium and the Olympic Charter:

I do not like the fashion that has been Rio doing the ceremonies outside the Olympic Stadium. The IOC should to force all applicant cities do in the same stadium

Lord David · February 27th, 2012, 07:12 AM

I don't mind the whole 2 stadium deal, it's just that it should be the odd occurrence, with, logical reasoning behind it (such is the case with Rio) and not twice in a row!

Do the Opening and Closing ceremonies have to take place within the city limits/city proper of the host city? Because the Stade de France in the Paris metropolitan area is outside the city limits/city proper of Paris.

Jack0999 · February 27th, 2012, 08:51 AM

2016 - Chicago / Paris / Moscow / Hong Kong
2020 - New York (If Chicago will not get it) / Shanghai (if Hong Kong will not get it), St. Petersburg (If Moscow will not get it) / Busan, Dubai, Warsaw
2024 - Berlin / Milan / Miami (if Chicago will not get it) / Sao Paulo / Guangzhou (if Shanghai will not get it) / Mumbai

Stop spamming this thread.

Lord David · February 27th, 2012, 09:56 AM

Yet it's still part of the Paris Region and can be considered part of the city, as it's effectively governed by the Paris Region as a whole.

For example, if an NYC Olympics wanted the Olympic Stadium (which would host Ceremonies) to be in Medowlands, New Jersey, this wouldn't work, simply because Medowlands is not governed by the State of New York even though it's supposedly part of Greater New York. Then the bid would have to be marketed as Greater New York and not New York City.

As for Doha, I'm certain that the IOC would either request a change in Ceremonies venue or make an unprecedented exception (due to how small the country is and that Lusail is probably governed and under the jurisdiction of some Doha or Capital Region entity anyways). Alternatively one could argue that Lusail is just a suburb of Doha. :P

Asking the same or similar questions countless time will be considered as spam or trolling.

Please refrain.
