No of course not (well not yet).

And as for Boriska, eherm, if you actually bothered to look at that Gamesbids.com logo competition, then you'd see that at least half a dozen other people did a similar idea. I merely simplified it and added a new element.

Don't be silly. The US will eventually bid for a Summer Olympics. There's like at least 3 or 4 cities that haven't hosted the games that would end up hosting eventually.

The Olympics will keep coming back to the US every 20 odd years, the IOC needs it to ensure that an event like the Olympics is still relevant to a market which is still a significant sponsor, as well as having a large population.

Oh and this is the Summer Olympics, we're talking about. They're already confirmed to have a city bid for the 2022 Winter Olympics (which will return to them on occasion too).

Well I hope so, because if not, then it would be a waste of time bidding for nothing.

Another Jim classic!

The US will bid in future I'm sure and it has more reasons to be optimistic than virtually any other nation on Earth. Sure, there's a bit more uncertainty now about US Olympics than in the past because there are more places jostling to host (Africa, the Middle East, South Africa, Asia can now put forward realistic host cities where they couldn't 20 or 30 years ago), but that doesn't mean there's reason to be unduly pessimistic.

I saw the projects.
I also tried to be registered to the Gamesbids forum but I didn't understood how works the confirmation code.

I prefere the two logos for Christchurch 2026 But what you did is beautiful.

Not true, there is ZERO confirmed US bid for Winter 2022 games... The USOC and IOC have yet to resolve the revenue-sharing issue which has severely eroded the relations between the USOC and IOC... until it is resolved and then fences are mended the USOC will not submit any bid regardless of how much some cities in the USA would like to bid... Reno raises a lot of noise about 2022 but is highly unlikely to be submitted by the USOC and Denver has been quietly getting some wheels in motion for a possible 2022 bid but Denver is the only city in history to be awarded the games (Winter 1976) and the toss them back to the IOC simply because they didn't want them (Denver voters rejected the games on financial and environmental reasons after they were already awarded the games, thus Innsbruck was given the games after having previously hosted the 1964 winter games since they still had most of the venues available from the previous games). That is a HUGE black mark on any possible Denver bid and they would have a LOT of work to do in improving their image with the IOC to have any chance of them taking a risk with Denver a second time...

Some think that time has healed the wound between Denver and the IOC but this is still very much a contentions point of history within the IOC circles and after two back-to-back humiliations in the voting process NYC for 2012 and the crushing defeat of Chicago in the first round for 2016 after spending 100,000,000 in the bid and having the sitting US president personally appear and address the IOC, the USOC is going to be VERY cautious about moving forward with any future bid...

Furthermore... virtually every American city/state capable of hosting for Winter or summer is completely broke financially and if there was any money is is likely that taxpayers would recoil at spending billions to host a 2-week athletic event in the face of crumbling schools, roads, lack of healthcare, and a vast myriad of other problems we now face...

Casablanca sounds like a great place to visit and Maghreb could use an event like that...

Man your a debby downer. So what about cities like Dallas or Houston they can both host the Olympics. Also what about New York or the District they can both host the Olympics. Now you talk about schools roads and all that crap then wouldn't that no developing countries could make a bid for the olympics.

What if a planned city (a city that was carefully planned from its inception and is typically constructed in a previously undeveloped area) hosted an Olympic Games (summer or winter)? If so, what planned city would make a great Olympic Games host city?

Brasilia would be the only one I could think of that would have the size to pull it off, other planned cities like Canberra just aren't big enough.

[Belgrader]

And what about Berlin, Munich or Hamburg?

I also think Abuja would pull it off, because they have a national stadium. I asked that question because I highly doubt any planned city would host an Olympic Games in this century. There is the potential for a limited number of hotel rooms and a small number of potential sports venues.

[Lord David]

Pull what off? Simply because they have a 60,000 seater ("decaying") stadium?
They bid for the 2014 Commonwealth Games, with a somewhat reasonable plan, yet lost to Glasgow, whose athletics venue would be a temporary platform at Hampden Park.

They were supposed to bid for the 2018 edition but somehow failed to reach the deadline.

The only planned city that can do it currently, would be Brasilia. They can build a purpose built Olympic Park, unlike Rio, as now they would be needing an athletics stadium as part of their bid since their main one is being turned into football only.

As for Canberra, I'd opt for a Winter Olympics if and only if, one could propose the artificial heightening of the mountains in the Perisher Valley. Add a dedicated road and rail link, then you'd have all snow sports in the Valley and ice events in Canberra, alongside Ceremonies, Main Press Centre, hotel area, airport and one Athlete's Village.
