MissEurasia

IKR, there are so many PDF Versions but it just ain't like the real thing. I'll be on lookout for a Vancouver set and will message you ASAP if I find one

Didn't Seattle have an interest in hosting 1980?

Well, If the US do bid, the candidate would probably be Anchorage or Salt Lake City or even Denver (Bit hard since they withdrew in 1976), it would be hard for them if they get 2024, Asia can be ruled out straight away, we've seen too many games from them so goodbye Sapporo (Not saying the bid is going to be rubbish or poor, just saying it'll be hard for them too) South America would probably have Santiago (It would be a favourite, but I think they would use this as a test bid for the future?) Leaving Europe, The only strong bids from Europe that I can think of would probably be: Barcelona, Spain The Joint Bid from Norway and Sweden and Sion I'd say the toughest cookie Sion would have to get past is Barcelona...

Yeah like Bern's Ill-Fated 2010 Bid...

Sion does have a chance, considering its their 4th time and that IF the US win 2024, but they do have some to tough competition, such as: Quebec, Barcelona and Stockholm, any Asian Bid won't stand a chance, considering Asia would have hosted 3 Games.

AMAZING AND FLAWLESS!

Well I go on many google websites (Like Google France or Google Russia) And then I do my typing and start looking!

YES! I've got hands on Quebec! Well, still need to buy it though, my friend's cousin in Sao Paulo has it.

YAY!

I'm currently looking for: Nagoya 1988 Seoul 1988 Berchtesgaden 1992 (Which I believe I've found somewhere) Paris 1992 (Found a Summary but no sign of the Full Bid Book Set) Belgrade 1992 or 1996 Toronto 1996 Brasilia 2000 (A Photo Album, found) Milan 2000 Beijing 2000 Sochi 2002 (9 Years!) Quebec 2002 San Juan 2004 St. Petersburg 2004 Rio 2004 Osaka 2008 So yeah, I got a pretty long list there...

You Welcome! Happy to help! I enjoy researching so yeah.... anyways, Tominger, you seem to have some rare books, I've read a few of your posts that say you have Sochi 2002 (I've been looking for them for 9 years now!) and now you've found Beijing.... (Another one I'm hunting down!) How do you find this stuff though?

Heres something that talks about the four candidates (Salt Lake City, Quebec City, Ostersund & Sion) http://library.la84.org/OlympicInformationCenter/OlympicReview/1995/oreXXV1/oreXXV1e.pdf

Hmmm.... Well, Puppy did upload their Bid Summary, it did look plain even though it was scanned black and white, you can see they used poor binding on the summary like Berlin did with their bid books, All the other candidates (Including Milan not Brasilia & Tashkent) produced a 3 Volume Bid Book Set, so I think Beijing did the same, I hope thias helps, as for the 2002 Evaluation Report, I will try and look for it, maybe ask Puppy and see if he has anything.

Interesting, Do you still have any contact with him? or even the old URL of the website? I really want to watch the ceremony, I've seen your video and another one, which made me interested in watching the entire thing.

Hmmm..... Anyone found the Havana 1991 Pan American Games OC yet? I've been looking for some time now

I know this is not related to Bid Books, but I went onto the Russian Google, and typed 'Sochi 2002 Олимпийские' I stumbled across what I believe are a few venue renderings from the bid. Here is the link: http://www.privetsochi.ru/blog/4882.html Another find, Sochi's bid logo: http://m.perm.kp.ru/daily/26188/3077045/

Your Welcome! ☺

For 2022 & beyond

That is such sad news!! Now we can't get any physical copies!

Yeah, it is, I hope they change plans, can't they disassemble it and move it to I don't know, Muju? They are going to move Ice Hockey 1 to Wonju after the games. The Speed Skating venue looks beautiful too. Can someone post a pic of ghe actual Speed Skating venue design? I've seen 3 and I don't know which one it is.

When is part 2 of the Bangkok 1998 OC will be uploaded? Also, has anyone got the full OC for Kuala Lumpur 1998 and Abuja 2003?

Are there going to be any new books added? I would like to see: Milan 2000 Sydney 2000 Athens 2004 Osaka 2008 Paris 1992 Amsterdam 1992 Belgrade 1996 Atlanta 1996

Thanks for the tip
