Brisbane is deciding on a 2032 Olympics stadium: how do the options stack up?

With the river city’s international reputation on the line, a 100-day review period hopes to cut through the political posturing and land on a main venue befitting of the Games

The 2032 Olympics have for a long time felt far away but it took Gout Gout to show they are just around the corner. The Brisbane teenager’s barely believable 200m national record on Saturday has upped the urgency for organisers to get Games planning right, as Queenslanders dream of an Olympic sprinting medal from a local hero.

The venue options for athletics and the opening and closing ceremonies are well-known and the deadlines obvious. But more than three years after Brisbane won the right to host the 2032 Olympics, uneven ambition and political manoeuvring means organisers have not yet decided on the site.
