Olympic Fan Darcy Posted September 6, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Barcelona 1992 bid books? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/BARCELLONA-1992-OLYMPIC-GAMES-BID-BOOK-TYPE-4-LOT-OF-4-VERY-RARE-/231047362366?pt=US_Olympics_Fan_Shop&hash=item35cb7ef73e&_uhb=1 he also has type 1, 2 and 3 individual. Never seen what they look like so no idea if legit. No cover or anything Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure facts Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 It is indeed the Barcelona 92 bid book. Lot 4 is the detailed sport proposal, the other volumes are more generic as well as transport, accommodation and media. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatsnotmypuppy Posted September 6, 2013 Report Share Posted September 6, 2013 Note - these are the generic copies that went to the Sports Federations. IOC members got nice wooden presentation boxes and differently presented books. An IOC set was on eBay years ago for about $3000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted September 7, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 $3000 Jesus! I thought they didn't look that elegant. But I guess they are winning books. I'm sure someone will bid Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thatsnotmypuppy Posted September 7, 2013 Report Share Posted September 7, 2013 Again - the IOC set in the wooden case with drawers holding each of the books and individual booklets for each venue were on sale for $3000. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, you can see the wooden "magic box" as it was called, in the 1992 Barcelona Olympic Report. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eternalcobi Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Whoever got San Juan 2004, let me know...as well as Athens 2004, I wanna figure out what went wrong on the island's bid (Initiated by Richard Carrion, on ballot for this Tuesday) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Olympic Fan Darcy Posted September 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 Don't know if San Juan had a bid book cause they didn't make candidate stage. Wish some more bid books would pop up. Wonder how long til one of the 2020 books pops up! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lord David Posted September 8, 2013 Report Share Posted September 8, 2013 (edited) San Juan did have a 3 volume bid book. This was before 2008, when it was decided that bidding cities (as applicants), would submit a single volume bid book answering the IOC questionnaire, rather than the candidature 3 volume bid books. Back in 2000 and 2004, cities would be eliminated from the bidding phase after the IOC inspection and visit of each city. Now they're eliminated solely based on their ability to answer the questions in the applicant bid book. To answer eternalcobi's question about San Juan, it was pretty obvious why that bid never made it as an official candidate. They were proposing too many things long before they were even built (some of which like the convention centre and metro would be completed well after 2004). The new arena ended up being the major venue built regardless of the games (the aquatics centre being built as well, but at a smaller scale). The main stadium would have sat 70,000, conventional in design but converted for use in baseball at 30,000, perhaps an unideal legacy like Atlanta's stadium.I'm also certain about the "nation's" ability to secure financial guarantees, but it would have required federal support from the US (where Puerto Rico is a Commonwealth of the US), which although there, I'm sure had they unlikely won, would have meant that support for an actual US bid for 2012 and 2016 would have been unlikely (as would their winning of such a games thanks to San Juan getting it for North America). If they bid for 2024 it would be interesting, but I would like to see say Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic try for it using legacy venues from the 2003 Pan American Games and the wealth of new infrastructure (such as the metro) having been built since then.

That really means a lot Straight from their bid pages (Gonna be offline after a few weeks) Being 1.15 Gigs in size, I had to use HJSplit (http://hjsplit.org), to split those into easy-to-upload chunks. It has been uploaded, and the files are below: Part 1: http://353baa9a.linkbucks.com Part 2: http://42dad8d7.linkbucks.com Part 3: http://2f5c360e.linkbucks.com Part 4: http://38669639.linkbucks.com Part 5: http://67a75607.linkbucks.com Part 6: http://0c4a20d3.linkbucks.com Part 7: http://552c2584.linkbucks.com Part 8: http://f65c8236.linkbucks.com You better need HJSplit to combine those to unzip Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
