Have you heard about Olympic houses before? 🏠 Olympic houses are vibrant hubs, sponsored by countries, that offer a treasure trove of experiences including; ▪️Learning about the culture of the country. ▪️Savouring delicious food — like enjoying a pretzels 🥨 at the German House. ▪️Joining watch-parties and celebrations, sometimes with medal-winning athletes 🏅 making surprise appearances. ▪️Meeting current athletes and legendary Olympians from past Games. And many fans make it their mission to visit every hospitality house! Recently, members of our #Brisbane2032team were in Los Angeles to scout potential locations for 'Australia House'. During #LA28, we hope to create a place where Aussies and international guests can gather. The House would also welcome athletes, sponsors, broadcasters and sports fans to help raise awareness and excitement for our Games in Brisbane.
