Melbourne mayor's Olympic dream could end in Brisbane

(Reuters) - Basking in the glory of being named the world's most desirable metropolis, Melbourne is hoping to bring a Summer Games to the city in the near future even though the country's Olympic chief would prefer Brisbane to host the event.

Melbourne considers itself the country's sporting capital, having staged the 1956 Olympic Games as well as being the home to a Formula One race, the Australian Open tennis tournament, an iconic cricket ground and the nation's biggest horse race.
