Always fun to speculate where the Cauldron/s will be and what it (or they) will look like ...
-
The LA 2028 Olympic Opening Ceremony will be held at the new Los Angeles Stadium with a simultaneous event held at the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. Will the organisers have only the original Cauldron at the LA Memorial Coliseum ignited, or will they light a new design Cauldron at the new Los Angeles Stadium, or light both?

Egyptian Shooting Federation - 2000 Olympic Pin
Trill posted a topic in Olympic and Bid Collectibles
Hi There, When I was a young kid many many years ago, I was gifted a pin from the Egyptian Olympic Shooting Team. The pin came with an Olympic Games Egypt postcard and in it was a message from one of the Egyptian Shooting team competitors. This was the 2000 Olympic games - I was only 7 years old at the time. I've kept the pin ever since and have attached a photo for you to see. Please see below. I'm not selling this item, just more curious about the value off it as I've tried researching this pin but cannot find it anywhere in memorabilia stores or even online. I have found somewhat similar pins but nothing like this one. I am very curious about the value and rarity of this piece of memoribillia from these games and this team and would appreciate any help or guidance. Thank you! http://oi64.tinypic.com/98hv0i.jpg -

I understand Rule #33 of the Olympic Charter, concerning single city or country hosting of the Olympic games. Does anyone know where I can find the origin of the rule which PREVENTED join bids from Olympic cities/countries? I saw this provision was added to the Olympic charter in 1921, but I cannot find related literature about why the rule for a single city hosting model was instituted in the first place. Can anyone point me in the right direction on this, or perhaps offer guidance as to where I might find information as it relates to the origins of this rule? Again, I understand it has now been changed, but am needing to understand its origins. Thank you. -

Tokyo wants you to think it's an environmental friendly city, but did you know Tokyo government has been on a rampage against bicycles for 2 years. They do "sweeps" twice a month where they take all the bicycles inocuously parked by some train station to a "bicycle pound". Well of course. Too sensible that someone should ride their bike to a train station, right? Yes, they started putting pay bicycle parking lots in some areas, concurrent to the "sweeps". But without any of the infrastructure in all those European cities - no rental system, no "pick up at site A and drop off at Site B". To tell the truth, there aren't really any bicycle lanes in Tokyo. They built one on Gaien Higashi Street, opened it in September, and after 3 weeks closed it again "for repairs". And, it's still closed, with no visible progress. I guess the LDP prefers to place their construction budgets where the big pork is.

This is not paul92's Olympic Candidate City Design Contest. Instead it's my version of bid logos for each city that is competing. I might put up a poll at the end so you can vote on which one looks best. Please remember, this is not our fellow members' logos, but ones I have made. So I'll start with Olympic Fan Darcy's city: Brisbane (and yes, this means YOU gotta make your own logo for the real deal! ) Feel free to argue and discuss! - Hey, I might even bail out on this one too and just have Brisbane up here all alone. -
