So is it the red or the blue?

That's what is making me worked! The f1 situation has been a disaster.

They've just got to make sure that train line is up and running smoothly. If not they've got trouble.

Well I will certainly consider Seoul as a base with maybe a night or two closer if i can. Is the fast train definitely happening?

They have some nice stuff in their online shop.

Just got my beautiful Gold Coast hoody delivered! Must be the only person in the uk wearing it!

Definitely not my favourite look, I know others love it but vancouver and torino and salt lake were all better for me. Don't get me started on Hot Cool Yours I always love the winter sports, so I really enjoyed all the sporting action. It's odd though that the final weekend feels a bit flat. Surely we can squeeze some of those events that started before the opening ceremony back into the actual days of the games. Something big like slope style or snowboard cross on the final weekend would be nice! BBC coverage was excellent, it was nice to watch the games from home for a change. But missing a games makes me even more determined to go to Rio! Overall fine, sometimes excellent, not sure it will ever have a really special place for me though.

I believe he is going to retire so he should have the time! I'd imagine if he wants oslo to get 2022 he will make the effort to be a good member over the next few years.

Bjorndalen is a great choice

Yep they've been the timing partner at numerous games (at Atlanta, sydney etc) but only a top partner since 2002. When they sponsored atlanta and sydney the deal was with the local OCOG which gave them domestic rights and use of the games logo but not the rings in worldwide territories - not TOP. http://www.olympic.org/Documents/IOC_Marketing/OLYMPIC-MARKETING-FACT-FILE-2012.pdf

Amsterdam would be a good option if these games must continue.

Really good news to see the flagship long term sponsors signing up to new long term deals.

The 2024 Olympic velodrome

I do understand the point you are making baron. But... You keep say about bringing something new to the party. Isn't there a balance to be struck between old and new? For an olympic fan surely there is something special about revisiting a wonderful old friend?

Those renderings must be pretty old as they are using the bid logo!!
