BRISBANE, AUSTRALIA (AP) How about this for an Olympic-scale list of world cities: Athens, Beijing, London, Rio, Tokyo, Paris, Los Angeles (LA) and, wait for it, Brisbane.
Since the Summer Games were last hosted in Australia, at Sydney in 2000, and when they’ll return Down Under in 2032, the Olympics have been held in some of the world’s most famous cities.
Brisbane, the capital of Queensland state and Australia’s third-largest city, is an outlier.
It’s aiming to produce an Olympics more like Barcelona in 1992 than London or Beijing.
It’s not a so-called top-tier world city but combined with close neighbours and Olympic co-hosts in the southeast corner of Queensland, the region has some of Australia’s most iconic beaches on the Gold and Sunshine Coasts.
