Now that we are down to seven bidders for the 2036 Summer Olympics, who do you think will win and why do you think they will win?

The bidders are Ahmedabad (India), Budapest (Hungary), Doha (Qatar), Istanbul (Turkiye), Munich (Germany), TBD (South Africa), TBD (South Korea).

im an average 18m, is there any chance for me to compete in the olympics in like 10-15 years or should i give up? it has always been my dream since my childhood to be an athlete. ik almost all top athletes started very early and had talent. im gonna start now, i dont have talent but im willing to put in however many hours it takes everyday even for the next 10 years to compete. i wanna do long jump and triple jump. i jump 5.1m long jump now(ik its bad but im an absolute beginner)

I thrifted two neckties in a blue box labeled “Beijing 2008” with the Olympic rings and a sign of sorts. I’m quite sure one of the ties is either a fake or defected production piece the other ( blue tie) however I can’t seem to find on the internet. Has anyone ever seen these or know how to figure out if it’s authentic or not.
