Let's say the Brazil Olympics are cancelled due to fear over the Zika Virus. Which countries do you think are capable of holding the Olympics on such short notice
>U.S.A. Far more than enough venues and the ability to hold the games from media, organizational, and security standpoints
>U.K. Just held them in 2012 and did a bang up job, might need help financially as back to back Olympics would be ungodly expensive
>Canada Canada held the 2010 Winter Olympics and the 1976 Summper Olympics so they've shown the ability to get it done. If they could upgrade some of the 76 facilities it may be doable
>Germany Have the money and infrastructure for it to work
>France Would be difficult but doable
>Japan They have the organizational skills and the drive to make it happen
>China They held them in 2008 and be eager to show the world what they are capable of
>Australia 2000 Summer Olympic host, probably worst case scenario before cancellation of Olympics.
What are your thought Sup Forums? Olympian Anna Meares related
There's no return. Even the WHO gave them a green light.
Ayden Russell
Australia is the worst case scenario but France is doable? you need to watch the news more.
Henry Gutierrez
Kek this.
Joshua Hughes
Not that it will happen, but The US could hold competitions on very short notice, but not necessarily within a small radius around one city.
The state of California alone could host nearly all summer events at high quality venues.
I'm interested to see if North Korea messes with South Korea heading into the next Winter Olympics, and the winter games have to be moved. That would be a lot more interesting in America......only salt lake has every winter venues, but I bet you could see a push for Denver as a host city.
David Cook
Salt Lake, Denver, Lake Placid, Minnesota (lol who needs mountains)
Michael Cox
>1976 being a plus for canada
Brody Roberts
On such a short notice? Impossible.
It's not about the infrastructure, all the countries you listed have it already. It's about the organisation.
You just can't prepare the welcome of several thousands of athletes that you have to park at the same place (except the US basketball players who are special snowflakes and always stay in 5 stars hotels), + their followers (coaches, cooks, managers, technicians, physios, doctors, etc...) + the journalists on such a short notice + hundreds of thousands (if not millions) tourists.
Plus all the everyday organisation like the road & transport management for the athletes, medias and fans, the fans management, the tickets sells, deleting all the events that were already scheduled in the various venues, drawing dozen of thousands security agents and all their organisation, command structure and chain, training, etc...
Noah Edwards
nba players at the olympics staying at hotels aren't special snowflakes, it's because they're ultra alpha dogs and it's to keep them out of trouble.
can't have a gangbang of the swedish swim team publicized
Ryan Lopez
You could've prevented this
David Flores
Nobody watched it when it was in Sydney due to the time zone difference
Matthew Martinez
That Buckminster-Fuller arena
Elijah White
Swedish handball team meanwhile are fair game
Ryder Jackson
the prevented it, 3 times in a row
Joseph Bailey
...
Luis Barnes
This clusterfuck will have an asterisk beside it for sure. There will be so many people that don't go so there will be alternates and shit.
Hell it'd prolly be pretty easy to get a gig at NBC and go work the Olympics because of how many of their staffers will refuse to go. NBC is allowing any staffer who doesn't want to risk it to stay at home.
Noah Campbell
Butts.
Nicholas Turner
Fucking degenerates.
Parker Sanchez
You fucking idiots, there's been a vaccine for Zika all along. Fucking spray this shit on and you're golden. God damn pussies.
Mason Gonzalez
Zika isn't even that bad. Just media hype like ebola
Aaron Barnes
americans have such high cholesterol in their blood mosquitoes dont want to bite them
Bentley Bell
>gives kids small heads and makes them retarded >carried by small mosquitos >not bad
Nigger please
Samuel Gomez
They will never take the Olympics from Rio at this point. Rio has invested so much infrastructure and what little "payoff" comes from it will not be taken from them. It would shatter any third world shithole's confidence in making an olympic bid and those are the only places that will be getting olympics anymore.
Carter Barnes
I would eat food from that butt
Luis Clark
>she'll never sit on my face after a hard day's work I'm just gonna end it now...
Adam Cox
Zika isn't that bad, went to Colombia, Brazil and Argentina a month ago and didn't get a single mosquito bite. Didn't do anything special aside from wear long sleeved shirts and pants
Thomas Phillips
Underrated post
Robert Williams
JUST
Jonathan Phillips
yeah long sleeves really helps the athletes in the SUMMER games
also even if you discount zika, it's 100% confirmed that the outdoor swimmers/triathletes WILL get sick due to BRs not pooing in the loo
John Myers
It's winter here in august, dude
Lucas Perry
No one is capable of hosting them with 10 weeks notice.
Landon Myers
on such short notice no one would want to dump so much money on what is most likly going to be years of criticism and local backlash
Jonathan Ward
They will not be moved 2 months beforehand kek. If Zika virus suddenly turned everyone into a zombie then they would just be cancelled.
Ethan Baker
Give it to germany! We love organizing People (World Cup, Refugees, Genocide), just make really really sure to notify us what you want us to with all the people. We don't want them to go on the wrong trains like last time.
Easton Lee
Hosting the Olympics is the equivalent of flushing billions of dollars down the drain
Jason Hill
We could do it but we got the less important 2018 winter olympics coming
Brody Wood
>USA
What like copa America? The tickets will be so fucking expensive.
Jack Sullivan
>Rio has invested so much infrastructure Kek
Adrian Rodriguez
>upgrading the 1976 infrastructure
The only upgrade would be to demolish it....
Adam Lopez
No tourists got raped or murdered during the 2014 WC, we'll do just fine
Gabriel Rivera
Mosquitos are attracted to high cholesterol you fucking leaf.
Nicholas Myers
Lake Placid would have to build a new speed skating arena since the one they used was outdoors. Also I don't think they have the infrastructure to handle the crowds that would come in today's world.
Oliver Bell
Australia.
Or Beijing again. I remember this epic opening ceremony.
