And to be honest he is kinda right. Everything is pretty much ready. At least with venue existence. Though logistically it will be a nightmare. There is ZERO chance of that happening. That would be a horrendous decision. Everything is not ready. The Coliseum isn't set up for athletics. The temporary swimming venue isn't there. And do we know if UCLA and USC dorms are ready to go? I remember hearing talk that if the Qatar got stripped of the 2022 World Cup, that the United States would offer to step in. No thank you. I don't want their sloppy seconds. As it is with LA.. let them host the 2028 Olympics that they will have spent over a decade planning for. Not to rush up and have a half-assed Olympics. bmo 1 Paris 2024 competition schedule by Day Paris 2024 competition schedule by Sport Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We still don’t have all the venues required, and we haven’t had a enough time to plan. “Sport has the power to change the world. It has the power to inspire.

My guess is he appeared to be a bit too official so I imagine the IOC got him for impersonation. Olympian1010 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

heywoodu 13,609 Posted March 9, 2020 #1307 Share Posted March 9, 2020 Oh wait, what kind of account was it? I thought it was something official and for example every day another Olympic athlete got control of it, but I didn't actually think of checking it If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
