TranscriptionFour pictures arranged in a square, with the Olympic rings overlayed in the centre of them. The pictures are, reading left to right, top to bottom:

  • The Eiffel Tower, viewed from the River Seine, with the word "Paris" overlayed over it.
  • Tower Bridge, viewed from the River Thames, with "London" overlayed over it.
  • A highway with motion-blurred images of cars, with a city skyline in the background, with "Los Angeles" overlayed over it.
  • A Hungary Jacks fast food burger restaurant, its logo the same as the "Burger King" logo but with the words changed, with the "Brisbane" overlayed over it.

ExplanationBrisbane, Australia will be the Olympic host city in 2032. This particular Hungary Jacks (the name of the Burger King franchise in Australia) is located in the heart of Brisbane, and has a reputation for being a very popular meeting place if travelling to meet people in the city or a place to grab food if in the city late at night. It is a somewhat tongue-in-cheek iconic landmark of the city for locals.
