With only a couple of days to go until the closing ceremony of the Paralympics, we caught up with Graeme Steverson, a Technical Director who has been involved in the planning, delivery and operations of six Olympic Games! Graeme was fortunate enough to kick off his Games' experience in his hometown of Sydney - "𝘐 𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬𝘦𝘥 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘴𝘵 𝘎𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘎𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘴 𝘢𝘵 𝘚𝘺𝘥𝘯𝘦𝘺 2000 𝘥𝘶𝘳𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘩𝘪𝘤𝘩 𝘢𝘭𝘭 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘵𝘰 𝘖𝘭𝘺𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘤 𝘷𝘦𝘯𝘶𝘦𝘴 𝘸𝘢𝘴 𝘣𝘺 𝘱𝘶𝘣𝘭𝘪𝘤 𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘱𝘰𝘳𝘵 𝘰𝘳 𝘸𝘢𝘭𝘬𝘪𝘯𝘨." Since then, he's been involved in Salt Lake 2002, Athens 2004, Beijing 2008 and London 2012, overseeing WSP’s global involvement in the Games. Now, he's on the countdown to Brisbane 2032. Graeme says, "𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘺 𝘵𝘰 𝘱𝘳𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘥𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘞𝘚𝘗 𝘤𝘰𝘭𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘨𝘶𝘦𝘴 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘢𝘮𝘦 𝘱𝘳𝘪𝘷𝘪𝘭𝘦𝘨𝘦𝘥 𝘦𝘹𝘱𝘦𝘳𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘐 𝘩𝘢𝘥—𝘤𝘰𝘯𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘣𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘖𝘭𝘺𝘮𝘱𝘪𝘤𝘴 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘪𝘳 𝘰𝘸𝘯 𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘰𝘸𝘯."
