IF I asked what is the only country among the 10 most successful in summer Olympics’ history yet to host an event, could you tell me who it was?

Well, it’s Hungary – renowned for its prowess in fencing, canoeing, wrestling, swimming, modern pentathlon and water polo.

Medals in those events put it among the summer Olympics’ top 10 all-time most successful nations, a list topped by USA.

But in all 25 Games it has competed, Hungary has never been the host nation.

It’s about time the Olympics came to this history-steeped country – and it could well be about to.

Last week Budapest, the Hungarian capital, and the Hungarian Olympic Committee announced their intention to host the 2024 Summer Games.

This beautiful city, laying either side of the Danube as Buda and Pest, will go up against bids from Rome, Boston, Hamburg and Paris.

In April or May next year the chosen cities will be put forward for a final vote in September 2017.

So, if the International Olympic Committee is listening, Budapest gets my vote.

Sticking with Olympic firsts, Beijing hopes a bid for the 2022 winter Games will prove snow problem.

Winter sports don’t rank particularly high on the agenda of most of the Beijing population, but, in an attempt to change that, China celebrated World Snow Day earlier this year by sponsoring events at ski resorts across the country.

However, should the Chinese capital be successful in its bid, it would become the first city ever to host both the summer Olympic Games (2008) and the winter Games.

The Lionesses impressed at the Women's World Cup

Meanwhile, in America, women’s ‘soccer’ was proving a hit as an average of 25.4million viewers tuned in to FOX to watch the USA’s World Cup final win in Canada.

While our love for the Lionesses is still burgeoning, the women’s game has always been popular across the pond but those figures make it the most-viewed soccer game ever in the States.

It topped the previous highest average, USA v Portugal in last year’s men’s World Cup, by more than half a million viewers and at its peak some 30.9million Americans had tuned in.

But, what is reportedly the most-watched single sporting event on television of all time?

The answer to last week’s question was Goran Ivaniševic, who holds the record for most aces in a single Wimbledon year with 213 en route to the 2001 crown.
