If Dubai were to bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics, how are the venues gonna be panned out? They have the Dubai Sports City Stadium and Indoor Arena, an aquatics arena, plenty of exhibition halls, and plenty of golf courses.

4 olympics in 22 years. What about that?

Russia
1980: Moscow
2014: Sochi
2024: If selected

3 Olympics in 44 years.

The IOC doesn't want one country dominating hosting duties as the US did in the two decades before this one.

So Sochi will be a consideration for a future Russian Games, and it's certainly arguable 2024 would be too soon for Moscow or St Petersberg for this reason.

It should also be noted that Lake Placid and Los Angeles were the only bidders in their respective Olympics.

Minneapolis/St. Paul has tested these waters in the past, and may do so again for 2024:

USA should wait at least 50 years - like all the other countries!

Exactly, and even more. The 1996 games were a fiasco.

Not to mention the 2002 scandale.

RobH · February 12th, 2013, 06:53 PM

But on the other hand the US Networks contribute enormous amounts to the IOC, and the US is an Olympic Superpower along with China. If they bid for 2024 with a decent sized city they'll have a superb chance; whether you like that fact or not is irrelevent.

Well, dear Rob, ever heard about a thing called "winter" Olympics? I mean, I agree about the US, not to mention Germany... But "China" Really ? I mean, not yet for them, for sure.

RobH · February 12th, 2013, 08:34 PM

Well, this is a thread about 2024. I was taking at as read we're talking about the Summer Games.

parcdesprinces · February 12th, 2013, 10:20 PM

And you're right!

Sorry, my bad.

Schnauzer 1 · February 14th, 2013, 07:00 PM

If the USA should wait at least 50 years - like all the other countries, would it be okay if the TV and sponsorship money also be in line with all the other countries?

Ok, the IOC should sell the OSG 2024 in an ebay auction...

Topher51 · February 21st, 2013, 02:54 AM

The USIOC sent a letter to 35 cities to gauge their interest in a 2024 bid.

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/02/20/sp...024-games.html

The cities that received the letter were Phoenix; San Jose, Calif.; Los Angeles; Sacramento; San Diego; San Francisco; Denver; Washington; Jacksonville, Fla.; Orlando, Fla.; Miami; Atlanta; Chicago; Indianapolis; Baltimore; Detroit; Minneapolis; St. Louis; Las Vegas; New York; Boston; Rochester; Charlotte, N.C.; Columbus, Ohio; Tulsa, Okla.; Portland, Ore.; Philadelphia; Pittsburgh; Memphis; Nashville and Davidson County; Austin, Tex.; Dallas; Houston; San Antonio; and Seattle.

Most of these are far too small to host the Summer Games, but I could see cities like San Fran, DC, Boston and Seattle as realistic possibilities.

And as for the US having to wait 50 years to host again, check the overall medal count for the combined winter and summer games.
USA: 2653, next closest country that still exists: Great Britain: 802
Scoreboard! Scoreboard! Just kidding.

The one that are bold i think could make the short list.. But some of them would need to invest in their infrastructure and public transportation.
NYC, SF, LA, CHI, Seattle and Washington D. C. are my favorites.
