Malaysia and Thailand
Recent reports are coming in that Thailand and Malaysia are going to pursue a joint Olympic bid. http://www.bangkokpost.com/news/sports/498302/thailand-eyes-joint-bid-for-games http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/809710-thailand-malaysia-discuss-olympic-aspirations/ http://bangkok.coconuts.co/2015/03/18/thailand-malaysia-discuss-olympic-aspirations
Most likely the bid will involve Bangkok and Kuala Lumpur.

I can't see that this bid will take place because the games are "technically" awarded to a city and not a country. The only time I am aware that an Olympics has been held in two separate countries, was in 1956 when the Equestrian Events were held in Stockholm due to emergency quarantine laws in Australia.46.7.85.68 (talk) 22:40, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
Order of listings?
Hello, I was just wondering, if there should be an order of listing for the cities? At present it is the order in which the application was announced, but it could also be an alphabetical order. The bids for the 2020 Summer Olympics orders candidate cities in order of of drawing lots. --109.43.0.152 (talk) 09:55, 14 April 2015 (UTC)
- The IOC order (drawing lots) will only be known after the IOC deadline of September 15 is passed. Hektor (talk) 16:11, 6 May 2015 (UTC)
Toronto
Toronto has not applied to host the Olympics. There has been much debate and discussion about it, in light of the Pan Am games, but no application has been made, nor is there any guarantee that one will be made.
- I have restored the information on Toronto to the section on potential bids. isaacl (talk) 02:40, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
Someone must have been listening in to CBC's speculation and got a bit ahead of themselves. Likely, but not guaranteed. They certainly rocked the Pan Ams though. Iheartthestrals (talk) 17:19, 31 July 2015 (UTC)
Bidding calendar
The IOC has just announced in Kuala Lumpur a few major changes to the bidding procedure. IOC Drops Applicant Phase and Short List From 2024 Olympic Bid as Part of Sweeping Changes To Process. Therefore the calendar in this article is outdated and the distinction between Applicant Cities and Candidate Cities does not seem relevant any more with the cancellation of the shortlisting process. My understanding is that all cities will be candidate cities from September 15 but maybe we can wait for official confirmation from the IOC by Sept 15. Hektor (talk) 08:06, 2 August 2015 (UTC)
Hungary/Budapest Failed Bids?
I've looked at the years when Hungary are supposed to have bid, but none of them included 1908, 1948 or 2012. Thus I don't understand why London is supposed to have been awarded the games when Hungary had a failed bid?46.7.85.68 (talk) 22:30, 14 December 2015 (UTC)46.7.85.68 (talk) 22:31, 14 December 2015 (UTC)
I see that some attempt has been made to correct the matter I raised above, but London was not a host city in any of the years that the cited Budapest bids were made, so this part is still wrong. Budapest never lost out on a bid made by London. I am not being pedantic. I don't want to correct the item myself because I do not understand the mechanics such as the hyperlinks. If I correct the item, I might cause unintentional damage to the Article46.7.85.68 (talk) 16:34, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
- As the article correctly states, Budapest bid for the 1944 Summer Olympics and lost out to London. The fact that those Olympics did not take place does not change this fact. Kahastok talk 16:50, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
My apologies. Your point is accepted. I was not aware that London had been awarded those games. For some reason, I thought they had been awarded to Tokyo, which I now see was in 1940.46.7.85.68 (talk) 17:43, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
Los Angeles.
What is the meaning of "Super gay" at the start of the LA section.
I note that there is a deadline for legal issues to be dealt with by 7th October 2016. Bearing in mind that Donald Trump has threatened a blanket ban on Muslims entering the US if he is elected, this election takes place after the deadline for legal submissions. It occurs to me that LA are unable to give guarantees that competitors that are Muslim will be allowed to enter the US and therefore, take part in the games. Can the IOC accept a bid that is contingent upon Trump not being elected? I realise we are talking about the 2024 games and it might well be that Trump is elected for one term, but there will need to be IOC inspections and this will undoubtedly include Muslim delegates. Also, there is the possibility that even if Trump is only elected for one term, his actions in banning Muslims might prove too popular to reverse. Surely the IOC will not adopt the view that a law MIGHT be enacted in Jan 2017, and that in turn, the law MIGHT be repealed if Trump is not re-elected in 2021?46.7.85.68 (talk) 17:03, 19 June 2016 (UTC)
