I want to know 10 years out, what it likely to be like. If we get an average daytime temperature at 3 pm of 22 degrees over the next 2 weeks, we know its not going to increase to 30 degrees average in 10 years time.
The bom struggle to get it right day to day. I hope it is low 20s the athletes would prefer that

Not at night time. Sprint track athletes and field athletes don't want it cold at nights. Don't want it under 20 and windy say at 7pm or later. beach volleyballers don't want it under 20 at night.
A cool Olympics is good for the endurance sports, eg triathlon, long distance running, road cycling, team ball sports.
Think I worked it out in Tokyo 191 of 339 events were indoors anyway. But its also about the spectators. Live sites and outdoor stadiums aren't great if its under 20 at night time and windy compared to the 22 to 26 degrees it was at night time in Sydney in late September.
yeh winter olympics gonna be brutal for locals to get to outdoor live sites!

It wont be T-shirt and shorts weather like Sydney was, well everyday and night I went to Homebush. I did wear jeans and a jumper the night I went and watched the soccer at the SFS.
Edit no athletics that night and it rained a bit after about 5pm. Stop start drizzle type stuff.

Does the Athletics need to be at night?
If Aus TV had a choice between Swimming at night or Athletics at night, which one would they choose?
Swimming is week 1. Athletics week 2 isnt it?
They mostly don't overlap so their schedules don't really depend on each other at all. Australia will probably push to have swimming finals at night in prime time but the the US/NBC could force them to morning finals again like in Tokyo.
In a hypothetical situation where for some reason Australia did have to choose between swimming and athletics at night they'd choose swimming for sure because it's our most successful sport.
I'd imagine the Americans would love to have as much of the athletics during the day as possible.

it is. But in Tokyo, Swimming was day for the USA for their prime time viewing.
Say the IOC gives us a pick in regard to which sport we get to choose to have in prime time for Aus audiences. Could be hitting 2 birds with 1 stone solution.

In Tokyo there were 12 finals in daytime, which was an hour behind AEST which put them in NYC primetime or a bit earlier for the 2 marathons and 50km Walk.
These were the events from different days. The time is Japan time so add 1 hour for AEST and take off 13 hours for NYC time

I expect something similar in Brisbane. NBC just like in Beijing 2008 and Tokyo last year got the swimming programmed flipped because a) yanks dominate and b) its week 1 so that will get people interested in watching. The only crossover between athletics and swimming is the Friday and Saturday at the end of the first week.
Sydney despite being in the same time as above, swimming and athletics didn't change for the broadcaster, but NBC had only signed up to the end of 2004, so signing up for 5 Olympics (summer and winter) in one hit after Sydney, they demanded change.
Just like NBC couldn't get the big races changed ie 100m, 200m and 400m and relays changed from night to daytime they wont in Brisbane. I'd expect 12-15 finals to be in the daytime.

More evidence this week Brisbane could be more winter than summer Olympics in 10 years time between 23rd July and 8th August. Last few days Brisbane has had fog at sunrise for a couple of hours. See tweets below from Dave the chopper guy from this week. Dave is the TV & radio traffic reporter on Sunrise and for 7 News and Ten News in Brizvegas and I've seen his videos on Sunrise this week flicking between 7 and 7mate for the Comm Games coverage.
Johnny Coates might have sold the IOC a pup re the weather being fine in Brisbane in late July and early August and as good as Rio's.
Rio is 23 degrees south of the equator so about in line with Rockhampton, so even though the Olympics were hosted in their winter, being just south of the tropic of Capricorn they have a warmer climate than Brisbane in their winter time.
Rio hosted 5th August to 21st August. Below is a cut and paste from the climate section of each cities wiki page. Rio's averages are a few degrees warmer at the top,but about 8 degrees warmer at bottom end, as well having higher humidity, but a bit more rain and less sunshine. I have removed the Fahrenheit temperature.
Being in a La Nina phase has kept the temperature down a couple of degrees this year. Hopefully 2032 is a El Nino year. A bit more global warming might also help.
But the 2 highest payers of TV rights have driven the need to finish by the 3rd week of August, ie NBC and the European Broadcasting Union. The EBU is alliance of public service broadcasters in 56 countries so the IOC haven't been prepared to negotiate rights in each individual European country.
In Europe the main soccer leagues start by the 3rd week of August, so the EBU members who have soccer rights don't want a clash, and NBC cover the NFL, and as the first Monday of September is Labor day holiday, the NFL starts the Thursday night after that and the following Sunday arvo/evening games and Monday night game completes week 1.
And if they don't have the rights to those sports, they want the Olympics on when those sports don't compete with their Olympics coverage.
It should be held from mid September to end of September like Sydney but given the TV rights holders dominate, then we get a cold or cool Olympics in Brisbane. NBC were a bit pissed off with the timing in Sydney, and when they bid for 5 Olympic games (summer + winter) in one hit a couple of years after Sydney, they got a fair bit of a say in things for future games. Then they bid for 4 more in one hit.

Wrote the following on the Port board the other day when someone wrote that Gillon was favourite to get the CEO of BOCOG job before the Hawks racism scandal hit the media. Said it wont happen, no one will last 10 years as CEO and some history of Sydney.
That was just media speculation because of the 2020 Gabba GF and AFL moving to Qld in 2020 due to covid and working closely with Palaszczuk. Palaszczuk made it pretty clear a Queenslander would be favoured to get the job earlier this year when she appointed the Queensland government nominees to the Brisbane Organising Committe (BOCOG) and then a few weeks later the 5 independent directors.
BOCOG at the moment has about 22 people on its board, about 8 from AOC/IOC/Paras/athletes + 4 appointed by the feds + 4 by Qld + 5 independent directors + Brisbane Lord Mayor. The president is Andrew Liveris ex Queenslander and ex CEO and chairman of Dow Chemicals in USA and then after merger with Dupont became CEO and Chairman of that new merged group. He is on other boards in USA inc Blackrock. He lives in the US.
If politics doesn't get in the way, Queenslander and ex Olympic dual silver medal 100m swimmer Mark Stockwell will probably get the gig, but odds are against him lasting 10 years. He was chairman of Gold Coast Comm Games, Premier Newman removed him, is wealthy and runs a property development business, is well connected in Olympics movement, is deputy chair of the Australian Sports Commission and when John Coates stepped down as AOC prez after 32 years, in April, Stockwell ran against Ian Chesterman and lost.
SOCOG had 3 CEO's in 7 years, inc SA's ex GP boss Mal Hemmerling who was a Labor man, but didn't get on with the Sussex St Labor guys, so they replaced him with another Labor guy, a Canberra public servant chief and ex diplomat, but originally a Sydney boy, Sandy Holloway.
Holloway and his marketing GM *ed up with the tickets for the rich scandal in late 1998 / early 1999, trying to earn extra revenue by selling the best seats at a huge premium, but didn't tell the board, and was sidelined. SOCOG could not be seen to sack another CEO.
But thanks to that crap, I ended up buying some great tickets to many events when those held back for the rich, were released for cost price 2 weeks before the games and I lined up from 3-4am. I basically got a seat on the finish line for the Freeman night in the level 4 seats.
In the end Olympics Minister Michael Knight, who was president of SOCOG from when Labor won the 1995 election, took over and shared/gave real power to David Richmond CEO of Sydney Olympic Co-Ordination Authority, which was in charge of building Olympic infrastructure and roads and railway construction to make the Olympics crowds flow, who also was on SOCOG board. These 2 individuals and Johnny Coates got the gold award from Juan Antonio, not the CEO. He got silver along with a few others, inc Deputy CEO and COO Jim Sloman who also had more power than Holloway in the last 12-18 months before the games. Hollway just became a figurehead to wheel out to the public.
Palaszczuk is the current Olympics Minister and unlike Knight, is only vice president of BOCOG.
Gil might not be suited to sharing power, although he is skilled enough to play the politics games.
Found this September 2021 article last night written by Greg Blood an ex sport librarian and researcher that confirms a lot of the Sydney history. He was employed as a librarian and researcher at Australian Institute of Sport / Australian Sports Commission and others from sports industry contribute to his website. Yesterday I put up his article reviewing Oz's performance in Tokyo, in the Tokyo Review thread.
Unlike Sydney which was basically a NSW government backed Olympics with the feds contributing about $250m - $150m to build venue infrastructure between 1995-98, and Events and Co-ordination funding of $19.1m to the Paralympics ie SPOC and $78.2m to SOCOG - Brisbane is a 50-50 partnership between Qld government and the feds and the feds will have a big say in certain things.

....................
It will be interesting to observe the power brokers of the 2032 Games as it will be in many ways a joint venture of the Federal and Queensland Governments. The Federal Government has agreed to fund 50% of the infrastructure of the Games. Due to this funding level, it will expect to have significant influence in “the planning, the scoping of venues, the procurement, the contracts, the appointments, whether it’s to the organising committee, the establishment of the co-ordination authority”. (Ref 3 ) It is highy likely there will be changes in Federal and State Governments over the next ten years.
The ASC is currently seeking a new CEO – will the successful applicant occupy the position most of the 2032 Brisbane journey ? Will the AOC and Paralympics Australia have leaders of the calibre of John Coates and Greg Hartung to ensure the Games meet the expectations of the Olympic and Paralympic movements ?
In conclusion, the ten year lead up and 50-50 Federal/Queensland Government relationship will most likely lead to a high turnover of power brokers and instability at times. Hopefully, the 2032 Games will reach and exceed the standard set by the 2000 Sydney Games.
When Coates stepped down as president of AOC after 32 years in late April this year, he said the CEO probably wont come from sports, he expects him/her to come from big corporate or government.

The key person pulling together Australia’s next Olympic Games is more likely to come from business or the public sector, rather than straight out of the sports world, outgoing Australian Olympic Committee President John Coates says.
Mr Coates, who on Saturday steps down from the presidency he has occupied for 32 years, will remain a key figure in the planning and execution of the Brisbane 2032 Games – the bid for which he spearheaded in a process that the International Olympic Committee vice president also largely designed.
Former London 2012 head Lord Paul Deighton, a former Goldman Sachs partner, and Tokyo 2020 chief executive Toshiro Muto, a former Bank of Japan deputy governor had the skills and experience that a leader needed, Mr Coates said
“It could come from a CEO of a major Australian company, or from the bureaucracy,” Mr Coates told AFR Weekend. “And maybe it can come from sport, but I haven’t seen it... A global perspective is important.”....................
This week the Brisbane 2032 organising committee, chaired by former Dow Chemical chief executive Andrew Liveris, held its first meeting.
And BOCOG Chair/President Andrew Liveris said in late July they are putting together a list and expect interviews in October and an appointment early next year
www.afr.com
The organising committee of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic Games, which will comprise a team of thousands by the time the tournament kicks off in a decade from Saturday, currently has just three people and will not have a chief executive until the end of the year.
Organising committee chairman Andrew Liveris, who with director Brendan Keane and communications director Rebecca Masci are the only people in the organisation to date, said the appointment of someone to the crucial CEO role would take the rest of the year.
Applications for the role close on August 19 and interviews be held by October, Mr Liveris said.
“I’d like to have that appointment by then or shortly after that,” he told a media briefing this week. “Realistically to get the best person for the job, we could take through the end of the year.”
“You’ve got to [come on board] with the passion,” he said. “It’s going to be a long 10 years for that person.”
The organising committee and Australian Olympic Committee will run events over the weekend to kick off the 10-year countdown. However, Mr Liveris is overseas and will be back in Australia in September.
Even though it does not have a CEO, the organising committee is starting the procurement processes for companies supporting the Games, which has a $US4.5 billion ($6.5 billion) budget. Potential suppliers needed to have their supply chain transparency, Indigenous and other sustainability measures ready to show, Mr Liveris said..........................

A couple of articles by Greg Blood looking at government funding.
Firstly the 1994-2000 extra funding once the Olympic hosting rights were won. The elite coaching funding was critical, especially post the fall of the old East European communist countries coaches who couldn't find well paid jobs post the Berlin Wall coming down and Soviet Union bust up.
Got Russians Gennadi Touretski to add sprint coaching to swimming Oz rather than concentrate on the longer distances, and Alex Parnov the pole vault coach and the medal maker from Ukraine yatching/sailing coach Victor Kovalenko are some examples of who the funding let the sports organisations chase.

Couple of hours ago in Mumbai at the 141st IOC Session, they announced cricket will be played at LA in 2028, so that means T20 will also be played at Brisbane.
Talk has been that like Baseball/Softball in Tokyo there will only be 6 men's and 6 women's team. There used to be 8 before their last appearance in 2008 and then were dropped for the next 2 Olympics before Baseball crazy Japan said they want them.
Other sports in for LA are squash, lacrosse, and flag football. Squash has been fighting to get in for 50 years but had very few friends in the IOC memberships. I reckon Oz with our rich squash history will push hard to keep it in 2032.
Dropped for LA are Boxing, Break dancing.
Under severe scrutiny for LA but they ended up surviving were Modern Pentathlon - horse event issues, and Weightlifting - doping and governance issues.
Boxing was dropped because -

The International Boxing Association (IBA) has faced ongoing governance issues, which resulted in boxing at the 2020 Summer Olympics being overseen by an external task force. These concerns increased following the election of Umar Kremlev as its president in December 2020, due to his extensive ties to Russian president Vladimir Putin.[52][53] A competing governing body known as World Boxing was established in April 2023 by a consortium of national federations, and the IOC stripped the IBA of its status as recognized governing body for boxing in June 2023.

Nine has the rights and cricket will be on the menu
Flag football? Stunned that a form of grid iron gets in at the same time as a global sport like squash finally gets in after decades of campaigning.Couple of hours ago in Mumbai at the 141st IOC Session, they announced cricket will be played at LA in 2028, so that means T20 will also be played at Brisbane.

I subscribe to The B1M construction and architecture You Tube channel. A couple of months ago they did this story on the Cross River Rail project which was planned and started before Brisbane won the hosting rights, but will be needed come the Games time. Its expected to be finished in 2026.
Kind of irrelevant now the gabbas gone
So after protests that a 2.7 billion stadium rebuild will cost to much they now plan to build a 3.4 billion stadium instead further away from the city and transport links. And with little change in capacity.
What a disaster. In fact this seems corrupt. They are stealing the stadium from southsiders.

It's only a report that recommends that brand new stadium, pollies haven't decided they will go for it yet.

You went too early. Government wont accept Gabba being knocked down. Plus its a 6 stations, 4 new underground ones and 2 significantly upgraded, a 10km track, 6kms under the CBD and Brisbane River, commenced in 2020, Albert St is the new CBD station.
The big plaza set up between the train station and Gabba, and big bridge / over pass over Main Street might not get the go ahead, or will be scaled back a fair bit.

Recommendation 1.2 QSAC Stadium should not be used as an Olympic and Paralympic Games venue to host the track and field events.
Recommendation 1.3 The option for a stadium in Victoria Park proceeds to Project Validation Report stage as a matter of priority.
JOINT STATEMENT
Premier
The Honourable Steven Miles
Minister for State Development and Infrastructure, Minister for Industrial Relations and Minister for Racing
The Honourable Grace Grace
The 60-day Sport Venue Review of the Brisbane 2032 Olympic and Paralympic Games venue infrastructure was completed by an independent panel led by former Brisbane Lord Mayor Graham Quirk.
The final report was provided to the Minister for State Development and Infrastructure Grace Grace on Friday afternoon (15 March).
More than 900 submissions were received during the Review, while the panel held 130 meetings with stakeholders, assessed numerous studies, and conducted 28 site visits.
The findings have identified new opportunities to deliver value-for-money for Queenslanders, while supporting the government’s legacy vision. At its core, the government’s response prioritises community benefit while ensuring costs remain within the agreed funding envelope of $7.1 billion to be shared between the State and Commonwealth governments.
The Government will now explore upgrades to QSAC and Suncorp Stadium while continuing to deliver the new state-of-the-art Brisbane Arena, securing benefits for more than 30 sporting facilities across Queensland, and exploring exciting opportunities for new transport connections in Brisbane as part of a revamped plan to enhance community legacy.
The new Brisbane Arena is a much-needed piece of community infrastructure which will have multiple legacy uses for decades to come. It will feature within a connected precinct where accessibility and walkability will be a key feature to its position among the city’s cultural and entertainment centres.
Suncorp Stadium and QSAC are the two most highly used venues in Queensland, with QSAC hosting nearly 782,000 visits in 2022-23. More than 527,000 visits were community sporting groups and schools, with another 167,000 visits from training and aspiring athletes. This compares to community visits of less than 20,000 at the Gabba, and around 4,000 athlete visits. Any upgrades to QSAC will further broaden community access.
Investment at QSAC would also provide the opportunity to explore expanded transport links servicing not only the stadium but also Griffith University, the health precinct at QEII hospital, and the growing communities on the southside of Brisbane to provide additional legacy benefits.
The Moreton Bay community is also one of the winners, with their new Indoor Sports Centre being investigated for an expansion. The Breakfast Creek Indoor Sports Precinct at Albion will not proceed with the panel recommending an indoor sports centre be located in Zillmere or Boondall instead. The proposed upgrades to the Toowoomba Sports Ground will not proceed, but opportunities to host other Games events in the region will be explored.
The Government will move quickly to complete due diligence on venues in the coming months, followed by construction. Around half of these venues are outside of Brisbane, providing an economic and jobs boost during construction and beyond.
The Review panel recommended a brand new multi-billion dollar stadium at Victoria Park. However, as the reviewers noted, significantly more work is required to understand the opportunity and before these preliminary findings can be relied upon.
The Government does not believe it would be possible to deliver any new stadium at Victoria Park within the existing agreed funding, and the IOC has noted that a new stadium for the Olympic and Paralympic Games sits outside the “new norm” of using existing or already planned venues.
The Government is therefore ruling out a stadium at Victoria Park, instead favouring investigating upgrades to QSAC and Suncorp.
The previously proposed re-build of the Gabba will not proceed, instead replaced with a more modest enhancement of the existing facility in consultation with AFL, Cricket Australia, and other stakeholders. Those sports will no longer be displaced from the Gabba, and East Brisbane State School will not need to vacate its current site by the end of 2025. However future works to the Gabba are expected to impact the school, and the government will work closely with the school community as those plans develop.
Any change of sports venue requires consultation with Games Delivery Partners, including the Australian Government, and final games approval from the Brisbane 2032 Organising Committee, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International Paralympic Committee (IPC).
Delivery of the sports venue program will be the work of the Independent Delivery Authority when it is established mid-2024.
Quotes attributable to Premier Steven Miles:
“This Review was one of my very first acts as Premier of Queensland and was driven by what Queenslanders told me was important to them – bang for buck and a lasting legacy.
“No one wants to see money spent on facilities that are only needed for four weeks.
“Instead, this new direction will deliver decades of benefit to local schools, community athletics programs and Olympic and Paralympic athletes in 2032 and beyond.
“I want to thank Graham, Ken and Michelle for taking on this challenge and for their dedicated work over the last 60 days.
“My government will accept 90 per cent of the recommendations made, for the benefit of Queenslanders right around the state.
“One of their recommendations would have meant the demise of the Gabba, which is something we couldn’t accept for such a beloved venue.
“And while the concept of a new stadium at Victoria Park has merit, the uncertainty around final cost means it is unfortunately not an option.
“2032 is one of the greatest opportunities to put Brisbane and Queensland on the map and leave a legacy for generations to come.”
Quotes attributable to Minister Grace Grace:
“I want to place on record my thanks to Graham, Ken, and Michelle for the work they have done on such an important issue.
“I also want to thank all those who took the time to make a submission. Over 900 submissions were carefully reviewed, and informed the report and our response to it.
“The Miles Government now has a clear new approach, and we will be consulting closely with our delivery partners in the Commonwealth Government, the IOC, and the IPC to do our due diligence on QSAC and Suncorp and progress as quickly as possible.
“Victoria Park is highly-valued by the community, and we have no plans to spend billions of dollars to encroach into that green space.
“With the Review completed, we’ll be wasting no time with getting on with the job with a range of venues proceeding through to the next stage of delivery.
“Venues at the Sunshine Coast – the Indoor Sports Centre, Stadium Upgrade and Mountain Bike Facility, as well as the Chandler precinct projects can now progress to procurement with others following soon after.”
Quotes attributable to IOC Vice President John Coates:
“Athletics Australia will be very pleased that with a QSAC upgrade, Queensland and Australian athletics will be left with a legacy venue for the development of the sport in Queensland.
“Sydney 2000 left a competition and warm-up track legacy for athletics, a legacy missing from the London, Rio, and Tokyo Games.
“The IOC will make available its Games construction experts to advise in respect of the potential upgrades to QSAC, including specifically whether the full $1 billion of suggested upgrades are needed.”
Quotes attributable to Brisbane 2032 Organising Committee President Andrew Liveris:
“The Olympic and Paralympic Games must fit the region, not the region fit the Games, and we will use the venues and infrastructure made available to us.
“We acknowledge the Queensland Government’s actions in accepting the majority of the independent review’s recommendations and urge due diligence across venues and infrastructure to be completed quickly and in consultation with stakeholders.
“Time and cost estimates are of the essence and progress must move swiftly.
“Once decisions are finalised, we will work with the International Olympic Committee and International Paralympic Committee to refine our Venue Master Plan and Sport Program, in line with our Olympic Host Contract commitments.”
