Topics I've Started

The first 2020 candidate poll...

And then there were three.

Favourite Presentation of Olympic Rings at Summer Games Ceremonies

30 March 2012 - 12:07 AM

We've discussed and polled on favourite stadium, favourite logo, favourite torch, etc...but don't think we've ever discussed this topic in a poll.

At each Olympic ceremony, the Olympic Rings get some sort of presentation. It is a relatively "new" tradition that didn't take firm hold until the 1980s, around the same time the ceremonies got more lavish, but Mexico and Montreal did have a rings presentation in their ceremonies so I'm counting them in.

So...what's your fave? And what do you think London (or Rio) might do at their Games?

Winter Games host city visits

02 October 2011 - 03:20 PM

Twenty communities have or will have hosted the Winter Olympics. Which ones have you visited? If any?

Cities above are alphabetized and I had to break the choices up into two questions to account for those that have never visited a past winter host as the system here only allows 20 answers per question.

Twenty three cities have or will have hosted the Summer Olympics. Which ones have you visited? If any?

The 2020 Bid Logos

18 August 2011 - 03:13 PM

Only two weeks shy of the September 1, 2011 deadline to submit applicants for the Games of the XXXII Olympiad in 2020 and so far we have four interested parties (in alphabetical order):

Istanbul
Madrid
Rome
Tokyo

So what are the logos for these bids? What do people think each city could or should use in their design? And what do you think of the existing ones?

At this time, I only see one for Rome.

If this is indeed Rome's, it is really boring and completely uninspired whereas their 2004 logo was an absolute gem. I do hope they change it as the bid progresses.

Of course, the four applicants thus declared have all had recent candidacies in recent Olympic elections:
