Pretty sure that was Vancouver...
It was Vancouver.

This is getting silly.
Just because Rio fucked up doesn't mean the Olympics cannot be pulled off well.
2000
2002
2006
2008
2010
2012
All went off without any major failures.
LA already has the infrastructure, though.
2004 was GOAT
Oh, it's going to start soon.Do you guys remember this thread???
Well, I'm just waiting for the Rio version of it lmao
Sydney
Salt Lake
Turin
Beijing
Vancouver
London
All first world, developed countries, save for China who just spent a boatload of money. Olympic games and FIFA World Cups should not be held in a country that does not currently have a good portion of the infrastructure in place. Problem with hosting it is that most places end up costing taxpayer money (I think of that list only London and maybe Salt Lake were profitable?). Another problem is that most stadiums and things built or rebuilt for the games are then left to rot.
ahahaha you guys have no idea how shitty Rio de Janeiro is as a whole, the Olympics will show just a small part of it.
Just like the world cup right? Oh wait.ahahaha you guys have no idea how shitty Rio de Janeiro is as a whole, the Olympics will show just a small part of it.
What an ass.
Pretty sure the Australins can handle a bit of friendly banterWhat an ass.
Definitely got that whole "host city" and "hospitality" thing down.
Not every time. Only when you hold the games in countries that should never have been given them.Eh... Doesn't this happen every time? Conditions seems shit, then the games happen, then everything goes off without a hitch. As the end of if "Oh, that wasn't so bad..."
Easily
I mean, there were complaints in Russia, and I think that was a pretty shit Games myself.Eh... Doesn't this happen every time? Conditions seems shit, then the games happen, then everything goes off without a hitch. As the end of if "Oh, that wasn't so bad..."
what? the mayor thing? why would anyone care?Australians give out banter all the time. Now feel what it's like to have the shitpost directed towards YOU.
Vancouver also went off without much of a hitch, apart from the snow being less that year and well, an athlete getting killed right before the opening ceremony
2004 was GOAT
Sochi was less everything is a death trap and more a case of laughing at just how badly constructed stuff was like installing 2 toilets in a single person bathroom. stairs leading to a wall while the door is to the left of the stairs etc
I remember the 2004 ceremony because Hurricane Charley hit and everything went out shortly into itDat Opening Ceremoy. Da bess.
Beijing had a great one too.
lol at London.
Will it be topped?

Add Salt Lake Olympics to the list. Those went very well.Vancouver also went off without much of a hitch, apart from the snow being less that year and well, an athlete getting killed right before the opening ceremony

When was the last time somebody died at the Olympics due to accidents or filth?
Sochi. Skeleton racer was going to fast round a corner, flew off and went backwards into a concrete column. They then added padding and reduced the track length.
When Australia, the land where every animal and insect is out to kill you, tells you your "uninhabitable" it's time to pack it up.
Vancouver. The track was amazing and world class and every athlete and the sporting association was for it because it was fast and challenging. But an inexperienced Georgian athlete not used to the course couldn't hold control and went flying and smashed into a column. They then advanced the start line and made the track even slower for women who had to start even further ahead.
The Federation for International Luge even stated the track was not at fault but it was user error. They were worried that the speeds were crazy but that the track wasn't unsafe.
I'm sorry, but that's an awesome name.AOC chef de mission Kitty Chiller confirmed late on Sunday nigh
Well, I'm done for today lol.
