A 2 year old on a construction site?
-
I just remember that many workers died building the Athens venues, and in any rush there are sure to be things that were not quite kosher.
-
I'm still doubting the visitor numbers they invented.

here we go again.

Find a large plot in New York.
Put up temp seats. Hire the pool. Bring on the ratings, and late night swimming.
-
Foro Italico, isn't that the whole complex?
-
Ok fine. Cape Town will swop 2015 and we get 2017.
-
You are all Qatar-haters. Doha can have 8 venues...so what!!
-
Cape Town 2026! 3.5 million people!
-
I'm all for the Port Area upgrade, they just need to figure out how to get athletes to the site without major travel times.
Why not use a fleet of helicopters between venues?

38 minutes! 5-10 minutes extra maybe, but 38 minutes is just ridiculous.
Its already 25 minutes to the Opening Ceremony for all athletes and track and field athletes for their events.

I see all the views but a cluster has a purpose. i.e. to reduce the security and other logistical resources, which a spread out concept requires. making planning very difficult.
If there are no synergies or "economies of scale" offered by a cluster well then its not really a cluster but a "Zone".
Basic requirements would be that venue are within a reasonable radius but more importantly that they ARE linked, through dedicated lanes, s.t. it is essentially a well connected space, not only from other clusters but within the cluster.
Spectators should be able to arrive the "Cluster Transport Hub" and then easily transfer between venues withing that cluster, or even walk.
I have superimposed Rio's plan to a Cape Town cluster plan and will share it later.

I'm not saying its a bad thing at all. Each city has its own topographical /geographical characteristics.
I'm just saying that in a cluster e.g. Maracana, not divided by a mountain or a geographical feature, that venues 3-7km away can form a cluster, just means that in Cape Town e.g. venues in the Southern Suburbs, could be considered a cluster.

If 3-7km away can form a cluster, then in Cape Town we could have lots of venues in a "cluster".
-
Thats a very spread out "cluster".

What is the distance between each of the venues in this "cluster"
-
Cape Town will crush you! ahaha
-
So its totally impossible to add a track to Maracana?
But then you lost out on the large capacity for the ceremonies.

In Africa, the final torchbearer will ride on an elephant towards the cauldron before lighting the flame!

1. I suggested something like this, OG hosts getting preference to host World Champs pre Olympic Games as a test
OR
2. Cape Town might be bidding....this is so Greedy of Rio! Greedy!
-
The CWG Federation really has to take what it gets.
Perhaps, maybe perhaps, offering 2018 to Abuja after Glasgow would have been perhaps maybe semi-wise

I assume that means the final design is now in place and the entire scope of works for the precinct?
