Gold Coast is ready to step in to stage the 2026 Commonwealth Games after the state of Victoria pulled out, said mayor Tom Tate.
The coastal city - host of the 2018 Games - is in the Australian state of Queensland, which is preparing to host the 2032 Olympics in Brisbane.
Tate says hosting the Commonwealth Games will help those preparations.
