I was thinking about this and I realized that instead listing all of the event venues, it would be easier to say I would use all of Lillehammer's venues.

[I Love Minneapolis]

I thought it would be interesting to see what some people would classify as the elite Olympic Games featuring the best venues from around the world.

I don't know my whole list, but Iit would go something like this...

Tennis- Wimbledon (London, UK)
Ceremonies- Athens Olympic Stadium (Athens, GRE)
Aquatics- Barcelona Aquatic Center (Barcelona, ESP)
Basketball- Staples Center (Los Angeles, USA)

etc.

Please, share yours.
