Greg Norman set to join organizing board for 2032 Olympics in Brisbane

Associated Press  

BRISBANE, Australia — Greg Norman is set to link up with organizers of the Brisbane 2032 Olympics. News Corp. reported Thursday that Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese had picked Norman to replace a retiring politician on the 24-person organizing board for the 2032 Olympics. “As a proud Queenslander, it is an honor and privilege to help shape the Brisbane Games,” Norman told Brisbane’s Courier-Mail newspaper. Sports Minister Anika Wells said Norman “is synonymous with Australian sporting success on the world stage and I look forward to drawing on his 40 years of global sporting experience and business acumen.” “Norman learned to play golf in the northern suburbs of Brisbane and as a proud Queenslander understands our state’s sporting pride and is a passionate supporter of the Olympic and Paralympic movements,” Wells told the newspaper. The IOC awarded the 2032 Games to Australia’s third-largest city in 2021 ahead of the Tokyo Olympics, giving a long lead time to prepare under the so-called new normal guidelines.
