FOLLOWING SUCCESSFUL PRESENTATIONS TO THE GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE ASSOCIATION OF NATIONAL OLYMPIC COMMITTEES LAST WEEK IN DOHA, QATAR, MEMBERS OF THE THREE CITIES COMPETING TO HOST THE GAMES OF THE XXXIII OLYMPIAD IN 2024 (LOS ANGELES (USA), BUDAPEST (HUNGARY) AND PARIS (FRANCE))* WERE IN LAUSANNE TO ATTEND WORKSHOPS WITH THE IOC.
The individual one-day workshops focused on Stage 3 of the Candidature Process, and were led by Olympic Candidatures Associate Director Jacqueline Barrett, with the participation of experts in the relevant fields.
The workshop content, which was identical for each Candidate City and targeted to assist the cities with their Stage 3 deliverables, concentrated on the following areas:
- Games experience
- Games services
- Sustainability
- Venue legacy
- Paralympic Games
The discussions enabled the cities to fully address any relevant points, and had a particular emphasis on learnings from recent Olympic Games, including Rio 2016.
Jacqueline Barrett said: “We’ve enjoyed a very productive week of meetings with the Candidate Cities; and the constructive discussions go hand-in-hand with the IOC’s philosophy of promoting open dialogue between the cities and the IOC and assisting each city to develop its best individual value proposition, based on sustainability. The cities are advancing extremely well with their projects, and these workshops provided a further opportunity to exchange ideas.”
