Sir Rols Posted April 21, 2017 Report Share Posted April 21, 2017 Congrats Santiago. About bloody time. Hubby just got back from Santiago - his first time home in 17 years. He said he was impressed by its development and improvement - it still has its problems, but those problems now are more of (slowly) rising affluence and inequality than of the widespread poverty he grew up with. So, a BA Olympic bid for 2030??? Good luck with that! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Argentina , after the withdraw, totally supports Santiago 2023... And I hope Chile supports Buenos Aires 2030 Olympics... The second Olympics in South America... A few moments ago, Chilean Sport Minister, Pablo Squella, confirmed that the Goverment goes ahead with the bid... So, it is the virtual host for 2023 Panamerican Games. the first Pan Am in Chile ever!!!! Squella appealed Chile will try to host the best Pan Ams ever... You can not imagine how happy I am!!!!!!!!!! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LDOG Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 I'm so pissed off... There won't be any bid for 2027 or 2030 or whatever guys, it's just damage control so they don't get berated by the press. Payasos impresentables COA, váyanse con Macri juntos bien a la mierda. Congratulations Chile btw. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTHarner Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 I smell a rat here. Buenos Aires pulls out a few days before the PASO Presidential election, leaving Santiago as the sole bidder. Neven Ilic, a Chilean, is seeking the position against Mr. Incompetent, Carlos Nuzman. No way Chile gets both the Games and the Presidency in the same year. To me it looks as if Nuzman perhaps paid off the BA people to back out in order to undercut the chances of his main opposition and, in return, will do everything in his power to see that BA gets the 2027 Games. Whatever the case, I would have preferred Santiago anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever the case, I would have preferred Santiago anyway. This is a great point, but I also think we don't need to forget the current situation in Argentina. Macri's government is facing a rough time with lower numbers of approval by his government and the upcoming legislative elections, he seems to focus for other strategies. Losing this bid would be a hard damage, while securing a better offer. Both elements can enter in the same situation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRATK Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 Well, FINALLY!!! After cancelling twice and being beaten by Lima a few years ago, FINALLY we will host a major international event! As Roland said, it was bloody time! Although the PASO election may have influenced something (you can't discard anything in any Latin American sport organization), it always seemed to me that the BA bid didn't have future. Yes, they would had the infrastructure from the YOG, but I'm not even sure they are doing a lot about it. The situation in Argentina is still very complicated politically and economically so I wasn't sure they will commit with this bid... just like La Punta, I thought it was more a show than a serious intention. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikarus360 Posted April 22, 2017 Report Share Posted April 22, 2017 http://chile.as.com/chile/2017/04/21/masdeporte/1492806953_278571.html According to this report, all Santiago needs is to confirm once more the requirements they offered in their bid to become officialized by PASO. So they pretty much have one feet in the games already. Honestly, it's not like BA had much of a chance against Santiago, tbh. Argentina is still fixing the mess which was left by the Kirchner family, and Macri is not doing an exceptional job either. Still, after the surprise we got in 2013 when Lima defeated Santiago, anything could happen. I'm personally happy Santiago won. Seeing how Chile is pretty much the leading powerhouse in South America at the moment it was kind of sad we've never seen them host much events besides the 2015 Copa America and 2014 ODESUR (They had the right to host them in 1975 but everything went to hell when certain anglophile decided to use the stadium as a slaughter camp.) Congratulations, Santiago! I hope you host excelent games in 2023 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tatsh Posted April 23, 2017 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2017 Perhaps it was a question of time for this incident, because now is a global trend of cities giving up or only one bid cities for sporting events. And congratulations Santiago, i'm sure you'll do a good job in 2023. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Congratulations, Santiago! I hope you host excelent games in 2023 Actually, I was thinking Buenos Aires would win IF they were at least serious about it. It's all politics and influence, not really who can present the best bid for PASO. And Argentina currently has more weight than Chile in the organization + IIRC the voting system would give advantage to Argentina because they hosted before (for 2019 Santiago got the same votes as.... La Punta). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cubebox Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Santiago 2023 bid logo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KRATK Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 Not a huge fan of the logo, but it is ok. I love the idea of showing the Andes in it! I hope they keep it somehow in the final logo. Too bad the BA 2004 bid used the condor, it would have been my favourite thing for a Santiago logo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nacholympic Posted April 24, 2017 Report Share Posted April 24, 2017 The idea of Andes Mountain in the logo of the 2023 bid, is that this mountain range crosses through many countries in Lat Am "unifying" them... that is why.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikarus360 Posted April 25, 2017 Report Share Posted April 25, 2017 Really hope they keep the Andes theme in the logo, since it's one of the most iconic elements of Santiago landscape (if not the most iconic), plus the fact it connects most of the west coast of South America. I thought the logo of the ill fated 1975 Pan Ams was also very stylish even if obviously inspired by Munich '72.

LDOG Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 ok, some surprises in PASO president election: Neven Ilic avoided the cut in first round of vote by winning a tie-breaker with Nuzman and then also won the final round against Puello by one vote! (26-25). So in short, the Puello voters made him win against Nuzman and then the Nuzman voters made him win against Puello. Hilarious.

Ikarus360 Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Good riddance. Arthur Nuzman was starting to become annoying tbh. I would like to criticize the Rio games but it seems I can't do it anymore without some popping out saying how exagerated I am. In the meanwhile.... https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/early-lead/wp/2017/04/06/rio-olympics-officials-reportedly-trying-to-pay-debts-with-old-air-conditioners/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BTHarner Posted April 26, 2017 Report Share Posted April 26, 2017 Everything Nuzman touches turns into a disaster, so it is with great relief that he did not win this election. Ilic represents a new generation of leadership which was sorely needed after 40 years of Don Mario and his interim successor Maglione (who will always be remembered for almost turning the Toronto OC into the world's largest slumber party). One only needs to look at PASO's website (which at last check, made no mention of the results of today's election) to see how out of touch they are with the modern world. Hopefully we will see a more polished, professional organization that makes a better attempt to promote its signature event in major markets where it is often considered an afterthought, if thought of at all.
