2052 Summer Olympics (Scenario: The World's Liferaft)

the 2052 Summer Olympics also known as the Games of the XL Olympiad or Auckland 2052 were held between 15th of September and the 1st of October 2052 in the City of Auckland, New Zealand. Auckland won out over bids from Maputo, La Paz and Kota Kinabalu to host the games. The torch relay from Greece via Tunisia, Libya, Chad, Mali, Senegal, Brazil, Argentina, Chile, French Polynesia, Tonga and New Zealand was a 5 month ordeal with the opening ceremony featuring 7 minutes of silence for the Olympic Games missed since the Great Nuclear War. The cauldron was lit by the last New Zealand Olympic gold medalist Eliza McCarthy and a NZAC flyover and fireworks display marked the start of the first Olympic games to be held since 2020.
