Summer Youth Olympic Games 2018

[LDOG 2,418]

Just got back home. Only managed to watch hockey today

 

Around 3pm I left the stadium to buy a drink and go watch something else. I tried Swimming... full. Fencing... full. Weightlifting... full. All of them with +1000 people in queue outside the arenas.

 

Then I tried to go back to hockey but there were suddenly 2000 people waiting outside so I lost my place and had no option but to leave the park.

 

Free tickets will do this, but I think today being Sunday made things worse. I will go back on tuesday, hopefully there will be much less people around.

 

Ps. the organization could help everyone if they simply were kind enough to place a "full capacity reached" sign in the entrance of each hall. Many people doing the line didn't know that the venue was full and they were wasting their time. You had to go all the way to the access door and ask the volunteers to get that info.

The only place in the park that wasn't bonkers-overloaded with people was an scenario with some orchestra that seemingly was playing only video game music (?) I heard some smash bros., pokemon, star fox, metal gear solid soundtracks.

 

I don't get what that has to do with the olympics, but had a little good time there

Well, I’m glad that people are willing coming, unlike in Turkmenistan
