  1. It’s amazing how LA2028 are really adapting in a big way their two largest venues, LA Memorial Coliseum for track and field and Sofi Stadium for a gob-smacking monster swimming venue. Yes for sure a sell-out at both venues and what an exciting historic Games to be there for. Fingers crossed 🤞 I liked the light stylish mauve tint of Paris 2024’s running track in Stade de France. If LA2028 were to go for a multi-coloured track it would look great if done correctly through gradient tints as you said. It would be a first too for an Olympic Games? It would also complement the dynamic rotating multi-coloured system of the LA2028 emblem.
  2. LA2028 Renovation: raising the “floor” of the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum I wasn’t aware of this temporary stadium renovation at the Coliseum where the seating bowl is to be temporarily reduced for the Games while the entire stadium floor is raised to accommodate the LA2028 running track and field events starting in week 1. The Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum stadium floor is to be temporarily to be raised and built directly and carefully over the existing NFL pitch to preserve it for post-Games NFL game when the stadium configuration will return to NFL/College Football mode. Amazing stuff.
  3. March 25 event: Games delivery update Coming up on 25 March at the Queensland Media Club is a delivery update by the QLD Govt on Brisbane 2032 from 12:00 to 14:00 AEST. Delivering Brisbane 2032 - event tickets
  4. @StefanMUC yes that would have helped a great deal. @intoronto’s very positve experience at the 2018 PeyongChang Olympic Winter Games shows it can be done where accommodation was provided much to the relief of Volunteers. @Rob2012 not sure if the Games will ever evolve into Volunteers transitioning into being part of the paid workforce. @baron-pierreIV thankyou. Yes it would be interesting if Olympic sponsor Airbnb actually provide, or not, any help or financial incentives and/or discounts to assist out-of-town or international accredited volunteers with accommodation (?).
  5. It’s a pleasure @PikyoK. Being involved in an Olympic Games as a Volunteer is truly an uplifting experience and I highly recommend it.
  6. That’s great. Sounds like a fantastic experience and that they paid for accommodation too which must have been a real bonus and a great relief.
  7. Yes things will really start to pick up pace once the Logo and branding system is revealed later this year.
  8. I know @Victorian you were keen on volunteering at Milano Cortina 2026. Did you make it over there? @Bear I’ve only just looked up today the link to Volunteering at LA2028 . Are you thinking of applying?
