Jaca 2014 High Speed Line Under Construction

28/04/2006

A major construction project of Jaca’s 2014 Winter Olympic Games bid will soon be under construction. The Zaragoza Plaza railway station project will be connected to the airport facilitating the transfer of visitors when they arrive at Zaragoza by air.

According to Jaca’s bid application visitors will be able to travel from Jaca to Zaragoza in less than 45 minutes by the high-speed train.

Meanwhile Jaca 2014 bid officials, along with officials from the six cities bidding for the 2014 Winter Games, will be present at the next congress of the International Sport Association being held April 29 to May 3 in Doha.

It’s an opportunity for the bid cities to meet some of the most influential sports journalists from around the world, but there won’t be formal presentations by the bid cities at the congress and they are not allowed to distribute brochures about their individual bids.

In three days of great activity, Jaca 2014 has met in Doha with the organizers of the Asian Games, with a IOC represent, the manager of communication of Beijing 2008 and with the director of the AIPS.

The Olympic bid Jaca 2014, represented by Carlos Martín, director of image and communication, has met with those of PyeongChang (South Korea) and Sochi (Russia) in the 69 AIPS Congress that has taken place in Doha.  

Only Three cities have moved the the capital of Qatar. The presence of the three candidacies has been noticed by the influential journalists of the AIPS, and by the IOC.

I think Jaca will have a big boost thanks to the New Romareda Stadium, the new hig-speed train from Zaragoza, the new highway under-construction between Pamplona and Jaca and some other new infraestructures.

2014 Winter Bid Cities At AIPS

02/05/2006

Representatives of cities bidding for the 2014 Winter Olympic Games joined officials from more than 90 countries attending the International Association of Sport Press (AIPS) in Doha Qatar.

At the meeting, officials from Jaca’s 2014 bid met with representatives of the Asian Games Organizing Committee 2006.

During the meeting the vice president of Qatar’s Olympic Committee said that it was possible the country might study the possibility of bidding for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games.

The AIPS Congress ends Wednesday and is the last meeting the 2014 bid cities will be attending ahead of the International Olympic Committee announcement of the 2014 candidates’ short list in June.

[skicross]

I think Jaca will have a big boost thanks to the New Romareda Stadium, the new hig-speed train from Zaragoza, the new highway under-construction between Pamplona and Jaca and some other new infraestructures.

Yes, Zaragoza is renewing itself for the EXPO 2008 which will improve Jaca's bid too.

I hope that Jaca makes the shortlist so as the IOC could visit Jaca and Zaragoza and see the huge improvement in infraestructures of the bid compared with the 2010 bid.

They also could see the capacity of Jaca to host an international event since the European Youth Olympic Festival of 2007 would be celebrated in the same dates that the IOC's visit.

JACA: Previous Attempts

Jaca’s Olympic intention comes from far away. The main city at the aragonese Pyrenees has been from almost twenty years a loyal travelling companion of the International Olympic Committee. Since those remote days at the 80’s, where the then mayor Mr. Armando Abadía, begins the queries at Lausanne to know the procedures to be candidate to organise the Olympic Winter Games, Jaca has been present in four of the selection procedures, current one included.

In those periods the city mobilizes all its citizens and becomes a unique referent in all that means the Olympic organisation of winter sports. Once, on 2001, it has been necessary to excel Granada, on a previous selection organized by the Spanish Olympic committee, as this city of Andalucia, so near to the well know ski resort of Sierra Nevada was also interested in linking its name with the Olympic movement. The fact that there was two Spanish cities wishing to organize the Olympic Winter Games only reflect the Spanish interest on those sports.

Only a few cities on the Olympic history, even if for Olympic Winter Games is not far than 100 years, demonstrated a persistency as Jaca’s. This city realizes quickly and on a very intelligent way than most of the spreads values of the International Olympic Committee agrees with the noble heartedness and the wise steadfastness of the Aragonese people. Jaca has been candidate to organize the Olympic Winter Games on 1998 and 2002 and applicant city – as a new selection system or city cut has been performed – on 2010.

[skicross]

Why JACA 2014?

Because of the Olympic vocation, so many times demonstrated by our city, our region, our country and our mountain range, which have never hosted a Winter Olympic Games.

Because of the dream shared by all the inhabitants of Aragon and the entire Spanish population, who today more than ever, hope that Zaragoza (2008 International Exhibition) and Jaca (Olympic Winter Games 2014) will help them to achieve their plans for expansion.

Because of the ultimate modernization of a developing area which has been the starter motor for Spanish winter sports. Jaca has become the cradle of the white sports in recent years. One example of this is the creation in Jaca, by the national government, of a High Performance Winter Sports Centre in order to improve ice skaters’ training.

Because Spain is the second most mountainous country in Europe. Although everybody relates it with sun and beaches, Spain has not only sun but a lot of snow. There are more than 40 ski resorts in Spain.

Because the Olympic games will be the best excuse to popularize winter sports in Spain, where there are plenty of enthusiasts but only a few athletes in top-level competition.

Because ice sports are in full expansion in Spain, with the institution in these days of the Ice Sports Federation, which means a great advance for all ice sports in the country. Because it would assist the consolidation of mountain tourism in the Pyrenees. It is an area of exceptional features across the Spanish-French border, where tourism and nature fit together with a high respect for nature.

Because of the Spanish liking for sports, in which more than 4 million people participate, and the enthusiasm which overflows at any major event. For us, athletes will always come first.

To introduce the sporting world to the beauty and the riches of the Pyrenees, one of the most beautiful natural mountain environments in Europe.

To help to build a social balance as a priority in the region in the 21st century, putting people first in all decisions about mobility, support and global education facilities, including sports and the health of the population.

To show off the cultural aspects of the area: Romanesque, the indelible legacy of Islam and Mudejar art, declared World Heritage today, belongs to the cultural legacy that Jaca wants to share with the whole world.

2014 Project

The Jaca’s 2014 candidature is based on a most according distribution of the competition venues. On this project, more innovator, audacious, and at same time to much compact, the original idea has been respected till the last consequences: all the Snow in Jaca and its mountainous areas - the two valleys surrounding it, the Aragon and the Tena’s valleys – and the Ice at Zaragoza.

This new project profits from the previous candidatures of Jaca to the Olympics Winter Games. On the making-up we deserved the greatest attention to the comments, recommendations and suggestions of the International Olympic Committee and of the international federations about the previous candidatures.

On this opportunity Jaca presents a project pleasant to the IOC’s and the international federations, designed by and for the athletes, on the respect of the region environment. We designed this Olympic Games with a well measured budget and consequently, it has to be compact, but also manageable and realistic.

The presence at the candidature of the Aragon capital city is the consequence of the other community great event on this century beginning: The Zaragoza International Exposition 2008. Jaca 2014 wants to improve the great legacy of the 2008 Expo and use it as the city promotional stepping-stone, hosting the Olympic sports played on the ice rink.

On the respect of the basics Olympics Bases of proximity and concentration Jaca 2014 extend its project over two competition areas, one situated at Jaca and the mountains, and the other in Zaragoza. The entire ski resorts of the zone, some of them the Spanish ski reference point, will be presents at the project, hosting the different sports to be played at the snow. On the ice rink we have Zaragoza, but also Huesca and Jaca, where it will be soon inaugurated the new Ice Palace, and will be constructed the Spanish first High Performance Ice Centre for ice sportsmen.

The Olympic legacy, with buildings venues as the Ice Palace of Jacas which will be opened by 2007 to host the European Youth Olympic Festival 2007 (EYOF); the environmental respect, encouraging on the skiers in all the environmental good practices, ignored till today; and the improvement of the general and sportive infrastructures of the region assured by the Olympic Winter Games 2014, are between the basic sides of the project which also have, as any other sports initiative in Spain, the total support of the public administrations in all and the altruistic support of every sport lover in our country.

Jaca is a faithful promoter of the Olympic Movement. Their values, as friendship, understanding, mutual respect, peace, solidarity and fair play, fully correspond to the characteristics of the Aragonese people.

On a world without borders, we still have a goal to achieve: sport without barriers and a common language: fair play.

ADIÓS AL ESTADIO OLÍMPICO DE JACA

"... las ceremonias de apertura y clausura se celebrarán en el Estadio de La Romareda, situado en el centro de Zaragoza ..." (Jaca21014.es)

El titular del Juzgado de lo Contencioso Administrativo número 2 de Zaragoza ha emitido un auto en el que paraliza las obras del nuevo estadio de la Romareda.

Así pues, Jaca se queda sin estadio olímpico para las ceremonias de apertura y clausura. Este estadio no va a ser reconstruido y se queda como está. Fué inaugurado en el año 1957 y la última reforma fué en 1994, hace 12 años.

6) Desde Jaca con amor (From Jaca with love) this blog is mainly about Jaca and The Pyreenes.

Thanks for the list - some interesting sites there
