Olympian2004 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 So the IOC clearly decided against its own Agenda 2020, for a city (or rather two) which will have to spend a loooooot more than currently calculated, in an artificial surrounding with artificial snow. I'm really gutted. Money and influence have won yet again. Now they'll get even less bids for future Olympic Games. Well done, IOC! Not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you find building most venues from scratch, using tons of artificial snow in an already damaged environment and a lack of winter sports tradition "logical", then so be it.

Olympic Fan Darcy Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Anything wanna say, guys? Yeah it's not a surprise. Just very sad that the IOC is rewarding a nation that lied about their 2008 legacies, poison the environment, abuse and persecute innocent people, have venues from 2008 wasting away with no legacy. People forcefully moved and hundreds of millions still malnourished whilst Beijing hosts the Olympics wasting money on fake snow. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dysan1 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Backwards step no matter which of these bids had won. Really does nothing to aid credibility of the Olympic movement Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger87 Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Well, Almaty isn't exactly the field game. Again, it's confirmed: "Final presentations don't make the deal. They can help you but they aren't miraculous". Also, from the previous post saying Almaty could have beaten an european contender for just the presentation, if Almaty couldn't beat a dreadful Beijing, Almaty hasn't any chance with European contenders.

I don't think so that I misunderstood the Agenda. What is sustainable about, for instance, building a luge track in a nation that has no luge tradition whatsoever?

ktoles Posted July 31, 2015 Report Share Posted July 31, 2015 Wow, while I'm not altogether surprised, I thought Almaty might just have a shot at it. They're presentation and details were actually far superior to Beijing. Beijing's Olympic Park has been left in a state of disrepair and basically have to start from scratch. I think this is shooting themselves in the foot and going against their own IOC 2020 agenda. Almaty would have had a real chance for implementation of this goal, but sadly now that's not going to happen. The human rights cases in Bejing are appalling, the pollution factor is just downright ghastly. I think in the long run they will pull off the games ok but this just goes to show you that money, arrogance, and influence will win out every time with the IOC, I'm not surprised.
