  1. Somehow, I have the feeling in my gut that these games are not going to be as successful as the IOC wishees - which is a polite way of suggesting they could be an unmitigated disaster.

    Maybe it will take a few YOG's for us to get used to them, but it doesn't have the same feel as the real games

    Does any one else feel this way?

    Don't know if I would be supporting my city trying to be host for something nobody cares about

  2. Who do you think will be applying for these games - both in the short-term and long-term (if there is one) - countries and cities that couldn't hope to get the Olympics or cities using this as a stepping stone to the big games - and if you get these games. will it hurt your changes to get the Olympics because your just being greedy as you have already had your games - give someone else a chance?

    I'm also not sure which athletics will attend - in some sports - gymnastics, swimming, diving, etc the athletics in the Olympics can be awfully young - who gets to go to these games?

  3. I think you're dead right. Assuming the no new infrastructure rule doesn't extend to refurb or redevelopment of existing facilities, I'd like to see Sheffield go in for it, preferably with a revampled Don Valley Stadium.

    Do you believe that the IOC would give Sheffield the Youth Olympics of 2010 when London has the 2012 Olympics

    Also, countries have to consider if a "Youth Olympics" would be held against them in the future if they plan a bid for the big games?

  5. Here's the message I'm getting:

    It only comes up on Andrew Syd's "Stolen Olympic Torch" and RIOMAN's "Someday will South America host the Olympics?" threads.

    Next time you get this problem make a note of the number of users on GamesBids.com Forums indicated at the bottom of the main page.  I'm not sure what may be causing it but it could be traffic.

    I am still getting this message when I try to open any topic in the "General olympic discussion" section, and its been the same for the last week

    Am I just too impatient, if i leave the screen on for about 30 seconds, it takes it that much longer to go back

  6. This morning I posted a new listing in the Sports Illustration Predictions category of Athens 2004 general - it was a comparison between the Sports illustrated predictions and the USa Today predictions - and now its gone - how and why did it disappear?
