The IOC Executive Board will meet tomorrow in Lausanne to discuss reports on the 2024/2028 Olympic Games and the 2026 Winter Olympics Candidature Procedure.

From The International Olympic Committee:

Meeting of the IOC Executive Board in Lausanne – Update

The Executive Board (EB) of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) will meet on 9 June in Lausanne.

The EB will receive and discuss two reports from the Working Group currently looking into the candidature procedure. The working group consists of the four IOC Vice-Presidents and has been tasked with exploring how to make the candidature procedure more proactive, more collaborative and less expensive in the future.

There will be two reports:
– A report on the Olympic Games 2024 and 2028.
– A second report on the reform of the candidature procedure that will be applicable to the Olympic Winter Games 2026.

The EB will also discuss and finalize the Tokyo 2020 event programme.

Interesting article about the Olympic Art Competitions

Olympic Architects: Forgotten Gold Medals Awarded for the Arts – 99% Invisible

The Dutch architect who designed a brick-clad Olympic stadium for the 1928 Games in Amsterdam won an unlikely award: an Olympic gold medal. Alongside athletes competing for gold, silver and bronze medals in gymnastics, diving, and wrestling, Di Stijl designer Jan Wils was awarded first place in the category of architecture.

Gary Hustwit on The Olympic City Project

CURBED spoke with filmmaker Gary Hustwit about his work, including the Olympic City Project;

“I think we’re just basically looking at how the Olympics impacted these cities and what’s left from the games after they’re gone. How did the games affect the people who lived there? Did the city organically mesh with these structures afterwards?”

2016 Year in Review; My top 10 of the Rio Olympics (Part 2)

Today I’ll continue with my top 10 list of Rio 2016. You can read part 1 here.

 

5. Copacabana Beach

The famous Copacabana beach hosted a few competitions. I’ve visited both the temporary beach volleyball venue and the triathlon/marathon-swimming venue. Watching sport with your feet in the sand/ocean and a cloudless sky is heaven on earth! (read more)

 

4. Maracanã Stadium

One of the most impressive stadiums I have ever visited. Two enormous concrete ramps bring visitors to the five different levels. Once inside you can only realize how large this stadium is. The recent renovations haven’t compromised the atmosphere within. (read more)

 

3. Usain Bolt

I’m a great fan of Usain Bolt. And to be present in the stadium and to see him win his third consecutive Olympic 100m gold medal was for me one of the highlights of the Games. The atmosphere of excitement in the stadium hours before the start, followed by a moment of complete silence, and ending in an explosion of sound at the moment when Bolt crossed the finish line. This was an unforgettable evening. And Bolt is now a true Olympic legend!

 

2. Rio de Janeiro – Cidade Maravilhosa

Cidade Maravilhosa
Cheia de encantos mil
Cidade Maravilhosa
Coração do Meu Brasil!

– Except of the lyrics of the song Cidade Maravilhosa by André Filho. Nowadays the anthem for the city of Rio de Janeiro.

Translation:
Wonderful city
Full of thousand charms
Wonderful city
Heart of My Brazil!

Rio de Janeiro is probably the most beautifully situated city that has ever hosted the Olympics. The Cariocas live in the middle of a spectacular landscape where the ocean meets lavishly green mountains.

 

1. Gold medal Brazil Men’s Football

Unfortunately, I had to watch the men’s football final in a hotel room. However, for me this is the highlight of the Rio Olympics. I still get goose bumps when I watch the penalty series of this match. The moment that Neymar gave the host nation the much desired (and deserved) gold medal. The nation-wide celebrations showed that this was more than just a medal. It was the first Olympic Football gold medal for Brazil. It was also the revenge for an unsuccessful World Cup on home soil in 2014. And perhaps the most important: the team unified and brought joy to a nation in times of political and economical turmoil.
