yep, you can see the two fonts I included here: then there's the emblem font as well. honestly I'm surprised the website for Olympic designs hasn't been linked yet in any of these polls (from what i've seen): https://www.theolympicdesign.com/ lots of cool stuff there, got a whole category on typefaces as well: https://www.theolympicdesign.com/olympic-games/typefaces/

vancouver 2010 snubbed...

"flat water" canoeing (canoe sprint) will be at Long Beach... that was the event that got moved from Lake Perris. As of right now the only sports that seem to remain at Sepulveda are Equestrian and Shooting, but ofc this may change with the finalized venue plan.

Tokyo 2020's pictograms were dynamic (assuming you mean animated like the emblem), for print versions they just used a static version as seen in the above images

july 26 cannot come soon enough.

"In addition, each competitor will use an app with which he or she can perfectly adjust the hardness of the mattress, made up of three different parts, according to his or her weight and height." is it so hard to just say "they" and "their"???? this entire article is so weirdly written... never share an article from ITG ever again pls and we've been through this, the beds were never meant to be "anti-sex". im pretty sure even TOCOG said this back in 2021.

Live stream for the arrival ceremony has been set up on the Olympics channel:

?????????????? UCLA will be the Paralympic Village. USC is the Media Village. This is like, common sense I fear. Also, Wasserman himself stated why ceremonies cannot take place at LA Memorial as recently as one month ago: "The technology you need to produce an opening ceremonies for television and infrastructure and sound and stuff... you can't do it at the Coliseum without spending hundreds of millions of dollars." Be so fr. Why on earth would they spend millions of dollars on not one but two temporary swimming arenas when they could just have one? It makes NO sense at all.

"Paras just don't sell well" IPC President expecting first Paralympic Games sell-out at Tokyo 2020 - ITG Tokyo 2020: Record-breaking demand for Paralympic tickets - IPC "Rio 2016 organisers hailed the second most attended Paralympic Games in history as Saturday’s sell-out crowd of 167,675 in the Olympic Park beat the attendance of 157,000 on the busiest day of the Olympics." - The Guardian

dude you're just making things up right now - LA Memorial was never considered for the Paralympic ceremonies. The LA 2024 bid venue plan always had the Paralympic ceremonies at SoFi, and I cannot find any information about them being moved to the Coliseum. Also - September is irrelevant because the Paralympics start August 15 and end on August 27. The NFL season begins a week or so into September, plenty of time to reconfigure SoFi from ceremonies mode to NFL mode. There is absolutely no reason to bring in other venues just for the Paralympics, because that would just be a waste of resources and funding when you can just use the same venue from 2 weeks ago. But sure, if this is about capacity: LA Memorial Coliseum - 70,000 projected capacity for the Olympic Opening (taking into consideration reduced seating due to elevated track platform) SoFi Stadium - 70,000 current capacity there's no real size difference.

also like, literally every paralympics since 1988 has used the same venues as their olympic counterparts. why should LA28 be any different?

this was never the plan. the Paralympic ceremonies were meant to be at SoFi. https://la28.org/en/games-plan.html notice how only SoFi has the ceremonies icon in the Paralympic tab.

why does para swimming have to take place in a different venue? its no longer the 90s or 80s where the paralympics were a much smaller event than the olympics. the crowd sizes will be around the same for both in 2028.

i'm a bit relieved. considering planning for the 2026 World Cup and LA28 is well underway, we really didn't need to add a third major competition in the mix between the two. 2031 will be interesting though, because we're also hosting the RWC that year. But if they can manage to work it out, then I'll support the bid.

well the "good" thing about Doha is that most if not all of its infrastructure should be ready, considering the 2006 and 2030 Asian Games. that being said, I think I'd prefer the UAE out of the three.
