Birmingham 2022 Commonwealth Games

[Brekkie]

Equally nobody seems to really want the Olympics either hence why it went to Paris when they failed in multiple previous bids.

That was not the case at all.   There were multiple bids for 2024 although by the time it got to the vote it was only Paris and LA in contention and a bit of a panic I think from the IOC to lock in LA for 2028 too.   There were multiple cities interested in 2032 too who were taken by surprise when Brisbane was announced for 2032 without a wider consideration of candidate cities.   There are already multiple cities expressing interest in 2036, including London.  

Meanwhile the Commonwealth Games is now looking to find an interested party for the 2030 Centennial Games.   If Canada were interested as hosts of the first games in 1930 it is probably theres for the taking, but they've really fallen in profile since Victoria 1994 and last time around CBC only aired highlights at the weekend.
