Brisbane 2032 Venues/Stadiums Thread
Chris_Mex replied to Victorian's topic in Brisbane 2032 Summer Games
The point is that the good old bidding format, the reason this forum was created, ceased to exist. So now we have to conform by adressing on how well a bid / OGOC is performing their task to organize this complex event. By this logic and adding theres plenty of aussies in this canadian site for any reason IDC, there's 3 active threads, this forum lead by an australian troll thinking we care about janitors toilet suppliers in 2032, the victoria 2026 forum (which isn't even an olympic event) that for some reason aussies think is relevant for anyone outside of australia. And the ban russia thread (again, so related to olympic bids) which at this point should be renamed "let's hate russia". The only interesting threads are the 2030 related ones, which are now in a bucle of "winter olympics are dead" and the 2036 threads which again are in a biased bucle of "olympics shouldn't get out of anglosphere" -
Even if those small nations incluiding ukraine do boycott the paris olympics, they wouldn't have earned as much gold medals together as russia alone, so sportwise (which sould matter more) olympics do benefit more from russia participating. IOC must find a way in which russia and ukraine get to take part peacefully in the games. But hey 80's is trend lately, the beijing 2022 "don't punish the athletes" only applied till february last year

I think trying purple on the running track is a fresh change on the olympics venue colour palette, considering last winter olympics we saw this astonishing example of urban landscaping.... seriously, what was on their mind?... coming back to paris, I see potential on their pictograms marketing. If we look back at the rather minimalistic tokyo 2020 pictograms, you could only imagine them in an event related context (tickets, broadcasting, stadium decoration), in the other hand I can imagine paris 2024 pictograms in other contexts such as merchandising, t-shirts, public transportation, citywide advertising, pins, etc. Coming from mexico city I can tell that the pictograms of the 1968 games were not only important during the 15 days that the games lasted, in fact, you can see how all of our city public transportation system and public signs around the city are inspired by those games pictograms. So originality is very important in the development of a games identity, because it is part of the games legacy. Hope future OGOC try harder to innovate on pictograms, developing them as not only a symbol of the events, but as the identity of the city itself

Well, if you ask any country that had hosted the olympics, they will tell that the games indeed benefited the whole nation. Look at china, USA or spain. Its not only brisbane olympics, but australia olympics

Luv how milano cortina OGOC makes all of their announcements on san remo, guess in 2024 we will se their slogan in San remo and I wouldnt be surprised if the 1 year off ceremony with the medals and pictograms, also takes place in San remo 2025. Not complaining, it's just funny

Ofc, it's design that matters... gabba just look bland. It looks like the unwanted little brother of London's olympic stadium vs IK both are populous designs, but THIS was also a restricted land mid-sized populous venue

Sydney did the same thing with allianz stadium, they demolished a 40k rectangular venue and then on the exact same land, they build another 40k rectangular field, guess it's an australian thing spending a fortune for having the exact same product

North Korea was banned from participating in Beijing 2022, due to their boycott to the Tokyo 2020 summer olympics. Given the case (I hope not) that ukraine or any other ukranian ally boycott the Paris 2024 summer olympics, there will be requested the same treatment into 2026 milano-cortina winter olympics. Not participating into two olympics editions is a high risk to pay for any nation, specially here in occident. So if ukraine decide to boycott the games, they will probably do it alone. How easy is competing in a world class event by deciding who do you want to compete against, will they also request automatic qualifications like for the FIFA world cup, or 5 minutes of the opening ceremony to deliver a message?

"Russians need to feel pain" and they said they were the rads , if russia pays for what they are doing in ukraine, then americans should pay for what they are doing in the middle east. Else we can stop putting on the table politics in sports. Its good to invade nations as long as it's part of our agenda

LA 2028 Ceremonies
Chris_Mex replied to baron-pierreIV's topic in Los Angeles 2028 Ceremonies Discussions
sure... -
Qatar 2022, it was FIFA. Lots of european countries already want to break up with FIFA, they have their hands tied with UEFA for the next years

It'd be a bold move from Infantino, considering UEFA is constantly wanting to move away from FIFA and take control of association football. Also if any organization ended up so dirty in PR after

Sure...slam-dunk Possible WC final venues for each bid CUPA (estadio centenario, montevideo, uruguay) Iberia (santiago bernabeu, madrid, spain) Egypt-Greece-Saudi (sports city stadium, new administrative capital, egypt) http://stadiumdb.com/pic-projects/egypt_sports_city_stadium/egypt_sports_city_stadium03.jpgM Magreb (grand stade casablanca, casablanca, morocco) CUPA even considering that argentina will be the ones taking the whole weight of the tournament, will need not only the stadium refurbished in order to be world-class venues in 2030, but also will need some public infrastructure renewal, and im not talking about Buenos Aires, which is in this moment probably the world's capital of passion. Talking about asunción, santiago or even other cities in argentina like rosario or mendoza will need massive urban renewal projects for being able to compete with iberian bid. Personally CUPA is an emotional favourite, I believe i would have been better if it was only argentina and uruguay, but we're in a 1996 scenario, emotional and historicaly important favourite (CUPA) vs well prepared, experienced bid (iberia). Anyway, as long as saudi arabia or morocco dont take the cup to arab world again im OK

Well SoFi actually has a full roof and an air conditioned system, so no problem in that aspect. I'd rather worry about Levi's stadium in Santa Clara, but there will be plenty of time for that
