cfm Jeremie Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 They would use some of the 2004 venues but most of them are way too large for the YOG. The 2004 Olympic Stadium would be use for the opening ceremony but track & field would be stage in a 10,000-seater stadium under construction (Moscow is planning to do the same: opening in the Olympic Stadium but the events in a mcuh smaller stadium). What I like about Athens plan is the OV on the sea shore (quite close to Marathon). Other than that I am not that excited about Athens proposal. I would much more like to see Debrecen or Singapore hosting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rafa Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Stellenbosch 2014 Youth Olympic Games. 50km from Cape Town. Will prob have to cut down on the number of sports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cesco_82 Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 after a quick view it seems the less compact till now, isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cfm Jeremie Posted November 15, 2007 Report Share Posted November 15, 2007 after a quick view it seems the less compact till now, isn't it? Indeed, from the three bid books we have seen, it seems Athens is the less compact. But then, compactness is not everything (I mean the Athens 2004 Olympics were not more compact and they were successful). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
