AustralianFan Posted November 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 Temporary ‘Drop-in‘ Pool Technology at Brisbane Arena Brisbane 2032 Olympics organisers are expected to use in the new Brisbane Arena venue the same type of drop-in temporary pool technology used successfully at the 2007 FINA World Swimming Championships at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne. * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * “THE FINA SKYPOOLS AT ROD LAVER ARENA - 2007” A "suspended" 50-metre, 10-lane, Olympic-size swimming pool was built inside Rod Laver Arena for the 2007 World Swimming Championships. ■ The first five rows of seats in the arena were covered by decking and not used. ■ The front row of spectators were close to water level. ■ The competition pool was made from 350 galvanised steel panels. The pool was lined with rubber. ■ A warm-up pool was built on top of the indoor practice courts. The pools contained 6 million litres of water, which was recycled after the event. ■ The pools were the first temporary pools to be installed in an existing sports stadium in the southern hemisphere. Both were dismantled and removed after the championships. ■ Specially developed overflow channels kept the water surface flat for faster swimming. ■ No concreting or bolts were used and the pools are considered to be like a giant Meccano set. ■ Because the pools are "suspended" the bottom does not sit on the tennis court surface. ■ They were built in Barcelona and were shipped to Melbourne as prefabricated pieces. ■ They were assembled from February 9 to March 5, 2007 Here is the original story: Credit: The Age - December 8, 2006 “This will mark the first time a temporary competition swimming pool has been installed in an existing stadium in the southern hemisphere. Rod Laver is the home of tennis, of course: the Australian Open. And big rock concerts. Classical music concerts. Motorcycle supercross. And now swimming.” TIME LAPSE VIDEO - click here to view installation Credit: Melbourne Olympic Parks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AustralianFan Posted November 26, 2021 Author Report Share Posted November 26, 2021 Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia “Let’s party like it’s 2032” Coast to install big screen for live Olympics announcement” Gold Coasters will be able to come together next month to watch live as the announcement is made on who will host the 2032 Olympics. Council is forking out $270,000 from the city reserve to host an exciting ‘live site’ party at Kurrawa from July 21. The celebration will feature fireworks, kids activities, sporting competitions, live entertainment, and the all-important announcement which will be beamed live on a big screen in the park. “We are all waiting in the hope that the South East Queensland region will be announced as host destination for the 2032 Olympics,” Gold Coast Mayor Tom Tate said. “The official advice will come through from Tokyo between 6-7pm but we want people there in Kurrawa Park after school, or work, to enjoy the free activities from 4pm. “This is a chance to witness history if we do get the green light,” Mayor Tate said. If Brisbane is confirmed as the lucky city for the 2032 Olympics, the coast will host 14 different events across seven facilities. Sports include weightlifting, volleyball, beach volleyball, judo, wrestling, golf, triathlon, aquatic (swimming marathon) and football prelims. The ‘live site’ at Kurrawa will remain in place for the duration of the whole Tokyo Olympics, from July 21 to August 8, so Gold Coasters can watch all of the action on the big screen.
