  1. All things considered that was a good OC!
  2. The IOC pushed to have the ice sports (minus speed skating) clustered in one city.
  3. Empty seats because it started 1.5 hours before kickoff. The stadiums was very full, if not sold out for the game.
  4. Looks like CBC will be broadcasting this in Canada.
  5. I would definitely recommend. I volunteered at the 2018 Winter Olympics and it was a great experience. The Organizing Committee did more than others, including paying for accommodations, so it was easier on the wallet.
  6. I will say even in Milan the venues were spread out and were at the edges of the city. It did not feel cohesive and did take away from the spirit of the games. Contrast this to the Ice park in 2018, all the venues were within walking distance.
  7. Back from my stay in Milan. The events were great! Got to go to every venue in Milan (except speed skating, but it was next door to the Hockey 2 venue, so physically I was there). I also got to attend my first major Opening Ceremony. It was nice, but I probably won't do that again. The post show departures were a **** show and was the worst organized major sporting event I have attended/worked. All of the Milan venues were located at the end of the subway lines in the edge of the city, which i found odd. Overall though, great experience!
  8. This isn't an Olympics. So spread out its ridiculous. Could they not consolidate some venues into the same city? For ex. Couldn't Zurich host all the ice sports?
  9. I will also be there for a few days
  10. The 2031 Pan American Games will be hosted by Asuncion !!!
  11. Voting about to start. RIo's proposed budget is almost double Ascuncion's.
  12. ^ that was wrong lol Panamsports is currently in Asuncion doing sight visits and will be in Rio after their visit in Paraguay.
  13. Abuja and Ahmedabad are the two bids. I mean its better than no games right? 😅 Duncan McKay has said India is the fave for 2030, with Abuja given preference to 2034.
  14. Hard to believe, its been 10 years since the opening ceremony of the Toronto 2015 Pan Am Games. Here is a writeup on the legacy of those games: https://olympic.ca/2025/07/10/we-are-all-team-canada-on-display-at-legacy-facility-of-toronto-2015-pan-am-games/
