franxavi Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 Roma is out. If the economic situation is controlled to September of 2013 the Games will be for Madrid Quote
tikus_kecil Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 What's the situation for spain-economy ? Is it getting better or worse ? Quote
JavierLopez Posted February 14, 2012 Report Posted February 14, 2012 In madrid, the employ is better than the total of spain, now is in 17%, 8% less than the total. Madrid is the first economy in spain, and the city is the 3th in european union. I think the situation not is so bad than other spanish region, andalucia, murcia or canarias for example. Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 Madrid submit the bid file to IOC http://ccaa.elpais.c..._medium=twitter not going to lie that bid file front cover is so boring, need some colour + the people dont seem really happy... In madrid, the employ is better than the total of spain, now is in 17%, 8% less than the total. Madrid is the first economy in spain, and the city is the 3th in european union. I think the situation not is so bad than other spanish region, andalucia, murcia or canarias for example. are you saying unemployment is at 17%???? Quote
Athan Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 ^^^Yes. The unemployment rate in Spain has always been quite high compared to the rest of Europe, and now with the economic crisis it is even higher. In fact, this is one of the reasons why the bid committee says Spain needs the Games. Quote
tikus_kecil Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 25% in national unemployment number ? God, that's crazy, I always think that my country is so poor etc, but our national unemployment rate is 7.8%.... Quote
JavierLopez Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 but in spain many people work no contract. this is one of the problem in the spanish´s economy. If you visit Madrid now, you don´t feel the "crisis"... many people buying, in bar, etc etc.. But the rural zone is really the drama of this crisis. Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted February 15, 2012 Report Posted February 15, 2012 ^^^Yes. The unemployment rate in Spain has always been quite high compared to the rest of Europe, and now with the economic crisis it is even higher. In fact, this is one of the reasons why the bid committee says Spain needs the Games. Wow that is unbelievably high, i wouldn't feel safe giving the games to them but we never know... Quote
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/wire?section=oly&id=7578690 interesting read think this will be interesting for madrid and others Quote
Athan Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 Wow that is unbelievably high, i wouldn't feel safe giving the games to them but we never know... It is high but it's what Javier said, you can visit Madrid or any other city in Spain and not feel the crisis. It's not that all the country has suddenly become poor. There are guarantees that Madrid can host the 2020 Games with no difficulties. Quote
Athan Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 The applicant file will be presented today at 10:30 am (Madrid time, CET). I guess it will be uploaded on the website after the event. Quote
SwissO Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 Am I the only one that could not access the madrid website ??? I am trying since yesterday, without any success... Quote
franxavi Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 I have not any problem to access The applicant file is in the web Quote
SwissO Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 I have not any problem to access The applicant file is in the web Where are you located and what url did you use ? Quote
Athan Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 According to what I'm reading on several websites, there are two main "clusters": the river Manzanares and Campo de las Naciones. In other words, Casa de Campo and its surroundings and the area near Juan Carlos I Park. That's just what we were saying here a week ago that would be the ideal project!! BTW, I can't find the applicant file anywhere... where is it? Quote
tikus_kecil Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 I can't access the website too... Quote
JavierLopez Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 I read that the Olympic Park (stadium, arena and aquatic center) will be united with the IFEMA (Juan Carlos I park and other venues) this in other madrid´s bids don´t exite. Quote
Athan Posted February 16, 2012 Report Posted February 16, 2012 ^^^That's because if Madrid is awarded the Olympics, they will build new metro and cercanías/commuter rail stations joining the Olympic Park with Campo de las Naciones. In fact, they are quite close from each other but the lack of a metro line means long travel distances between them. This problem would be solved by 2020. Perfect! Quote

Athan Posted February 18, 2012 Report Posted February 18, 2012 ^^^Thanks! At last I can also see them on the official website but I don't know if it's still not accessible outside Spain. Quote
