Commonwealth Games: Will there be another event after Alberta and Victoria withdrawals?
Organisers had originally estimated the Victoria event - hosted across cities including Geelong, Bendigo and Ballarat - would cost A$2.6bn but that figure more than doubled.
"The reason Canada wanted 2030 was because it's going to be the 100-year anniversary of the Games and they held the very first one, so they wanted to look at it as a centenary Games. Apart from that, they've had no real appetite in hosting. In June, the CGF set out a strategy which included assessing the feasibility of hosting in new regions and considering multi-country Games.
South Africa's ability to one day accommodate the Games, and the will of leaders on the continent to see that happen, remain strong, according to one of the key figures involved in a potential new hosting bid - as long as "baby steps" are taken first. "We want to hold on and secure the Commonwealth Games - it's held so closely to everyone's hearts and has brought so many fantastic memories, not least the 2018 gold medal."
