Let the games begin: A glimpse at Paris’ new Olympic venues "Global attention turns to Paris on Friday for the beginning of the 2024 Olympics. But despite hosting 10,000 athletes competing in 329 medal events at the Summer Games, the city has seen the construction of only a few new sports facilities, including a swimming arena, a climbing wall venue and a gymnastics and badminton arena. Aquatics Centre Opened in May, the Aquatics Centre in the Saint-Denis neighborhood of Paris’ northern suburbs has a modular configuration, with the ability to switch from a 5,000-seat venue during the games to 2,500 seats for other events in the future. The venue cost $190 million, according to NBC Los Angeles. The center, built by Paris-based Bouygues Construction, will host artistic swimming, diving and water polo events this summer and will be open to the community after the Games. Designed by Dutch architecture firm VenhoevenCS and the French firm Ateliers 2/3/4 with low-carbon features, the roof of the timber building is covered with photovoltaic panels, making it one of France’s largest urban solar farms and supplying all the energy the facility needs. Porte de la Chapelle Arena The Porte de la Chapelle Arena opened in central Paris on Feb. 11. The site for badminton and rhythmic gymnastics was the only new venue to be built in the middle of the city for the Games. The arena cost $150 million, according to NBC Los Angeles. Designed by French architecture firms SCAU and NP2F, the arena has a capacity of 8,000 and will also host badminton and powerlifting at this year’s Paris Paralympic Games. It was also built by Bouygues Construction." Continue reading in the article below. #mygovus #buildingbettercommunities #governmentsoftwaresolutions

Simply Sensational Stuff !!! Since the 1960s, every city hosting the Olympics exceeded its initial budget by a large margin, according to an Oxford University study. But this time, a different story is taking shape. Spending at the 2024 Paris 2024 - Comité d'organisation des Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques de 2024 is expected to come in at under $10 billion — only about 25% over the initial budget, according to an S&P Global Ratings report. In sharp contrast, the 2016 Games in Rio de Janeiro and 2020 Games in Tokyo deviated from their original budgets by more than 350% and 280%, respectively, the report said. The chief advantage this time can be summed up in two words: existing infrastructure. About 95% of the venues slated for use during the Paris Olympics existed prior to the city's winning bid to host the Games, according to the S&P Global Ratings report. Only three were built afterward: the $1.6 billion Olympic Village, the $190 million Aquatics Centre and a $150 million gymnastics and badminton venue. Can Los Angeles Olympics 2028 follow suit ?

🏅 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿  Glasgow has confirmed it will host the 2026 Commonwealth Games Commonwealth Sport, albeit in a trimmed-down version with just 10 sports. 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 🏅 This is understandable given the time frames and costs involved. However, having raced in the initial test event for the Triathlon back in 2013, I’m disappointed to see it not make the cut, especially after the excitement surrounding the Triathlon Team Relay event this year at Paris 2024 - Comité d'Organisation des Jeux Olympiques et Paralympiques de 2024. One thing I am very pleased about is the full integration of Para sport into the Games. I think this is a fantastic development for both athletes and spectators, as it allows more people to be involved and witness these amazing athletes in action, while they receive the recognition and support they deserve after years of hard work. 📢 This point was highlighted to me during a conversation with my close friend and para-athlete, Benjamin Pritchard, after his experience in Paris. Several facilities and support from companies and brands (I won't name them here) closed immediately after the Olympics ended, leaving Paralympic athletes without the same experience as other athletes, even though these brands prominently featured Paralympic athletes in their advertising campaigns. I feel that if they are doing this, then they should show the correct level of support for these athletes. This will further inspire the younger generation, increase exposure and potentially that commercial return that I know will be used as an argument against the same support. 🐣 What comes first, the chicken or the egg?! 🐣 There are many factors at play here, and I'd love to hear your thoughts on the Commonwealth Games going to Glasgow, as well as how Glasgow is preparing to run a fully integrated event! https://lnkd.in/edPjQ69M #parasport #commonwealthgames #inspiringthroughinclusion
