Olympics - Brisbane Games must fit the region, says IOC


(Reuters) - The Brisbane 2032 Olympics must fit the city and the region and not the other way round, the International Olympic Committee said on Wednesday, less than two weeks after plans to construct a new stadium were scrapped.

The existing Lang Park stadium will host the Games' opening and closing ceremonies after the Queensland government rejected the recommendation of a review that a new A$3.4 billion arena be built in the city.

Uh-oh! Daily quota reached.


Only RM5/month for the 1st 6 months then RM13.90 thereafter
