2 major sporting events had future events inked in over the past 24 hours, with Australia's Gold Coast winning the right to host the Commonwealth Games in 2018 after Glasgow's 2014 event rather than Hambantota in Sri Lanka. This followed the IAAF London seeing off Doha for the rights to host the World Championships in 2017 at the 60000 Olympic Stadium
Gold Coast is a coastal city, and a major tourist destination with its subtropical climate, surf beaches & waterways. It sits just 94km south of Brisbane on Queensland's capital, Brisbane, and with a population of just over half a million is Australia's most populous non-State capital city. For 2018, there will be major infrastructure changes, with an increase to the Metricon Stadium to 40000 seats, new badminton & mountain bike facilities to look forward to, and a wrold class squash centre in addition to existing arenas & stadia as witnessed by the Scottish Rugby team during their visit to the Gold Coast ahead of the World Cup this year: it can certainly be stated that the locals will back sport!
