International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach praised Brisbane Monday as the Australian city considers a bid to host the 2032 Summer Games, saying he was "impressed" by its early planning.
The Queensland state capital is mulling whether it can justify the expense of hosting such a major event, and has carried out feasibility studies which Bach viewed during a visit.
"I must say that we have been impressed to see how detailed the feasibility studies are already at this early stage and how well founded these studies are," he told reporters.
"Now it is up to the Australians to make their minds up, and to say whether they want to follow up on this project to host the Olympic Games."
"It shows the growing attractiveness of the Olympic Games, worldwide and for the host cities."
