Like many here I had an amazing time following the Paris 2024 Olympics, and it was a privilege to have this opportunity to display our capital and country to the world.

The Tokyo Olympics were in my opinion the most forgettable ones in recent times, unfortunately a lot of what made Paris 2024 an international success couldn’t happen there because of Covid restrictions.

The pandemic robbed the Japanese of a once in a lifetime opportunity to showcase their culture and country, and the rest of us were robbed of the opportunity to enjoy the Tokyo Olympics the way they were meant to be.

    As someone who went to Japan for the Rugby world cup the year before I am gutted for Japan and Tokyo. The city was amazing and it really is a chance to show off on the biggest stage of them all and they were denied that.

    If no one wants to host the 2032 games I don’t see why Tokyo can’t be offered again (if they want to)

      Brisbane already has 2032, so we’re looking at 2036 or beyond at this point. 😱

        I didn’t realise the 2032 Olympics had already been awarded, so yeah, 2036 at the earliest

        With all due respect, is there a lot of culture for Brisbane to show off (or Australia for that matter)?

          I wouldn’t know. I mixed up Brisbane & Perth before I looked the city up on Google Maps! 🤣
