Poland hosting IO44'

Among TOP20 economies only PL alongside Saudi Arabia and Indonesia never had the Olympcis (nor bid for 2036)

Warsaw hosting 2044 Olympics - the ancient symbol of peace - exactly 100 year after being razed in WW2, would be one of the most inspirational tales in sport history!

History tends to stick around...
