Hambantota 2018 was an unsuccessful bid to stage the 2018 Commonwealth Games by the city of Hambantota, Sri Lanka. The right to host the Games was won by the Gold Coast 2018 bid after a 43-27 vote by the Commonwealth Games Federation (CGF) General Assembly on 11 November 2011 in Saint Kitts. The city made their surprise bid for the Games on March 31, 2010.〔(2018 COMMONWEALTH GAMES – BID PROCESS )〕The city was extremely damaged by the 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami and undergoing extensive reconstruction. The first phase of the reconstruction of the Port of Hambantota was funded by the Chinese government. ==Proposed venues== Hambantota planned on building many new venues if it won the bid, including an athletics stadium, an aquatic centre, a multi-sports complex, a velodrome stadium and a hockey stadium. The athletes village would have been located around the Mahinda Rajapaksa International Stadium, which would have been one of the venues. The remaining venues would have been built near the cricket stadium.〔(Sri Lanka to build 20 key sporting venues for 2018 CWG )〕 Unlike the Gold Coast's plan, which include venues in the nearby city of Townsville, Hambantota's venues were all planned for the same area.〔(Bligh outlines Commonwealth Games bid )〕 ===Proposed schedule=== Hambantota proposed hosting the games between May 16 and 27, 2018. 17 sports and 228 events were planned to be contested if the bid was successful.〔(Hambantota 2018 Bid book part 2 )〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Hambantota bid for the 2018 Commonwealth Games」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
