Brisbane was picked Wednesday to host the 2032 Olympics, the inevitable winner of a one-city race.

Brisbane follows 2028 host Los Angeles in getting 11 years to prepare for hosting the Games.

The Games will go back to Australia 32 years after the popular 2000 Sydney Olympics. Melbourne hosted in 1956.

“We know what it takes to deliver a successful Games in Australia,” Prime Minister Scott Morrison told International Olympic Committee voters in an 11-minute live video link from his office.
