This is a map of how many times the Olympics games have been, or will be held in each country of the world.

Personally I would like to see Iceland tackle the challenge of infrastructure, I’m sure they would find elegant and minimalist solutions for each sport, without compromising their beautiful nature. It would be interesting to see athletes adapt to permanent daylight in summer. And cynically, it would expose the atrocious state of their housing market, and maybe prompt some change ?

    I think an Aotearoa (NZ) + Pacific Islands would be really cool. Have the main city be auckland but with events in Fiji, Tonga, Samoa, and New Caledonia.

    Relying on sponsorship money to improve infrastructure and try to minimise new buildings.

    Also random other ideas:

    • Rwanda + Tanzania + Kenya
    • Vienna + Bratislava + Prague (they are all within a couple hours by train).

    (As you can see I’m a fan of the idea of having a couple countries close host it to minimise costs and pollution, while only building/improving infrastructure if it will be used).

    Also I’d be suprised if big powers like India, Indonesia, and Turkey don’t end up hosting one in the next century.
