🔴 Breaking: London ‘ready’ to bid for 2026 Commonwealth Games after Australian plan collapses
“For me, the way to make it work is to skinny down the Games to something which just focuses on the sport and takes out a lot of the pageantry.Were London to step in it would be the third Commonwealth Games in the last four to be held in the UK, with Birmingham last year and Glasgow hosting in 2014, although London itself has not played host since the second ever Games in 1934.
“The risk is that if you keep coming back to England, or Scotland or Wales, Great Britain, it’s the death of the Commonwealth Games,” Warner adds. “You need to be able to spread it around. You need Canada stepping up, you need New Zealand stepping up, you definitely need Australia and we can’t keep coming back to the British Isles because then I think the rest of the Commonwealth would shrug their shoulders and say, ‘What’s it worth?’”
The five other Australian states have already publicly played down their chances of replacing, but the lord mayor of Perth Basil Zempilas, leader of the local civic-level government in capital city of Western Australia, says the city should take its “second chance” at the Games.“We tell them “here are our venues” you make YOUR games fit around what we have.
“Clearly we’ve got the whole issue here of state government vs central government, but it’s not a good look for a sport-mad nation that loves to vie with the English for the top of that medal table every four years.”
