Created by an eccentric billionaire, officially in protest to politicisation of the Olympics, some think actually because he was angry at his own media companies not being given the rights to cover the Olympics, the Goodwill Games existed from 1979 to 2001. After the 2001 Brisbane Games, the event was cancelled due to waning interest.

With the increasing difficulty of finding willing host cities, it would be quite amusing if the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Games were the last. We'd be like a curse city.
