Paris’ ’all-time great’ Olympics highlight Brisbane’s biggest challenge
It was quite simply Paris, due to the imagination of the organisers in placing temporary venues among world-renowned landmarks.
“These Games will go down as one of the all-time great Olympic Games,” the 66-year-old Irishman told AFP. “Each Games brings something unique,” the American told AFP. “This one will be remembered as much for the city as the Games that took place in it.“Each venue felt like a piece of history and I loved how they used the city itself as the canvas upon which to paint a beautiful Games - unmatched.”
“Future hosts should use it as a template in not building permanent stadiums and instead putting temporary stands in beautiful locations.” “Sitting in that bowl looking out with the Palace of Versailles in the background, I cannot think of a better venue in the five Games I have been to.”“The beach volleyball venue was the most amazing setting for any sporting event I’ve ever seen,” he said.It’s a legacy that’s impossible for Brisbane to live up to.
