Concerns over the future of the Commonwealth Games beyond 2018 have been at least partially allayed.
The Gold Coast is hosting the event in four years, but until recently there were no bids on the table for 2022, leading to speculation that the Commonwealth Games Federation might have to take a hard look at the years ahead.
Now two cities - Durban and Edmonton - have put in bids for 2022.
The Canadian city hosted the 1978 Commonwealth Games, but they've never been held in South Africa, even back in the days when they were known as the Empire Games, from 1930 to 1966.
If Edmonton won the right to host the games - to be decided at a CGF meeting in Auckland next year - it would be the sixth time Canada has hosted an Olympic or Commonwealth Games, dating back to the Empire Games in Hamilton, Ontario in 1930.
