And I am happy to say the Invictus Games journey won’t end there. But where should the Games go next?文章源自英文巴士-https://www.en84.com/975.html
Well, we had three key criteria.
First, it had to be an iconic city – somewhere known the world over.
Second, it needed to be a city with a proud military heritage, which would welcome competitors from all over the world with open arms.
And finally, we wanted to go somewhere where they are absolutely sports mad and would really get behind our competitors.
It was an easy decision really – the 2018 Invictus Games are coming to Sydney.
[Cheers and laughter!]
Prince Harry: Hi, Kylie, good timing, the 2018 Invictus Games is coming to Sydney, can I guarantee the Aussies are going to bring it?"
Kylie Minogue: Hey, Prince Harry, listen: we’re stoked the Invictus Games is coming to Sydney, but you don’t need to tell the Aussies to bring it – it’s guaranteed, no worries.
Prince Harry: Sydney, it’s on.
[Cheers!]
