Really? I thought Mexico City 1968 was held in Mexico.

Winter Olympics in Somalia!! Crank up the snow machines!

Do they have the infrastructure to host?

Why don't we worry about our own backyard, why hasn't Mexico ever hosted one?????

To OPs credit they say hosting in a country in Africa. But yeah OP is dumb as f**k to die on this bunny hill.

Do you have any idea about the cost of the Olympics for the host country? Ask Athens how paying for the 2004 Olympics worked out for them.

And Brazil.

I think a Johannesburg Olympics could be great. Of course, the seasons would be reversed from the northern hemisphere, but that’s been done before (Sydney, Rio).

Africa is a continent, not a country OP.

Have you ever been to Africa? Which part/what countries?
Are you an engineer or urban planner or have any experience in planning events on this scale?

I think they got lucky actually. Kinda counter intuitive I know but it's an event. Afterwards you're screwed. Not sure why everyone vyes for it. It's a financial nightmare once it's over. Any smart place would make a run but hope they won't win for it!

Haha do you even understand the burden of hosting the games? It's not actually profitable for the host country. Hell I worked at the Greek games and man they barely held it together.

It could happen. I don't think people would enjoy it. Qatar is a relatively modern and nice country and people melted down over the World Cup being there. "They won't let us drink beer!" "They made me turn my gay pride shirt inside out!" A bunch of crying because they had to abide by the rules of the host nation. It would be similar in Africa, except that Qatar is one of the world's richest countries and Africa is the poorest continent. And it's not like Mexico, it doesn't have a big tourist industry with nice hotels. It'll be.. rustic. And far more conservative than most Americans would tolerate.

OP definitely gets a +1 for trolling. No way this is a serious post

Sparing African countries from that money pit is the closest the corrupt ioc has ever come to doing something good.
