I honestly think it’s a pretty brillant use of space. I also don’t really a big problem with swimming being held outdoors tbh.

 

I agree...it's a brilliant use of space, but still I hate (watching) outdoor swimming competitions and I'd rather try a different distribution of the proposed venues...

2017-20 Athlete Performance Database

Link

 

I'm in the middle of creating an athlete database and I'm wondering if some of you want to beta test it before coming fully online by the end of the month. Basically I want to know if it works for everyone and whether there are any formatting errors. The other big thing would be whether or not the names for some athletes are spelt correctly. Sadly a lot of times there are mistranslations when the name is romanized, additionally some athletes change their name (mostly due to marriage) or even nationality.

An artist made this fake logo online and people love it:

It could never be used though, because you’re not allowed to modify the rings per the IOC guidelines...
