Is that the one built out at Toowoomba? I feel like athletics at QSAC and athletes at Toowoomba really gives visitors the real SEQ experience. Maybe shooting up at Ipswich, and swimming in the Brisbane River.Are we going to use the covid prison that ended up housing no one as athlete village
Seems so odd they didn't have a backup location for the triathlon. Even the marathon swimming has a backup option if the Sienne is too pollutedParis wanted to clean up the Seine pollution wise, so the Olympics was a good time to spend the money being AU$2.3billion.
It was reported 6 months ago that the planned triathlon swim leg on the Seine was more likely to be cancelled, moved or reduced to just the 2 events should enough rain fall prior to the event.
We used to ski from the bulimba reach to the Gateway bridge.The good news is the Brisbane river is clean enough to hold the swimming. The bad news is it is projected that 30% of participants will be mauled by bull sharks.
They just need to get Jim Wilson the construction engineerAthletics LOL! The track will have to do a figure 8 of some sort, or maybe any track event over the new 60 meter dash event can finish in Caxton Street which would also be the venue for Brisbane marquee games moments ie. bogan beer swilling and thong throwing medal rounds.![]()

Cause Tahiti is a french territory. It also apparently beat a few French mainland sites to hold the surfingHow do they get to hold the surfing in Tahiti
The surfers get to stay on a cruise ship with no cardboard beds.On another note.
How do they get to hold the surfing in Tahiti , not even close 12,000 miles away which is multiply x 1.6 =19200 km away.
I always thought the French surf on the French coast , wrong time of year ?.
So no dramas , we can do the canoeing down in Penrith.

Surely if they were fair dinkum about the Olympics being IN Paris they would open up an Urbn Surf there?Cause Tahiti is a french territory. It also apparently beat a few French mainland sites to hold the surfing

They've announced the Mens Triathlon will be proceeding in the Seine today lolParis wanted to clean up the Seine pollution wise, so the Olympics was a good time to spend the money being AU$2.3billion.

It looks like this may come true unless they put the athlete's health at risk which would be a worse headline.
Yes, they are determined to get it done.They've announced the Mens Triathlon will be proceeding in the Seine today lol

Last week, British media reported the nation’s Olympic team brought in an extra chef after complaining about a shortage of the right food at the Village and the quality of what’s on offer.
Andy Anson, the British Olympic Association chief executive, told The Times the Village “is not adequate” and that “a dramatic improvement” was needed.
Some British competitors have moved elsewhere in the city to get fed and collect packed meals to take back for dinner.
“There are not enough of certain foods; eggs, chicken, certain carbohydrates,” Anson explained.
“And then there is the quality of the food, with raw meat being served to athletes.”
Anson called the food problem “the biggest issue at the moment” and said the added chef was to cater for the extra demand at their so-called performance lodge.
We used to ski from the bulimba reach to the Gateway bridge.
About 23 odd years ago.
Before we knew about Bull sharks even existed.
I remember dropping off down the Bridge end , the next guy in goes yeah just go up a bit away from the Raptus fish co op.
Pussy.
We always thought we'd make the news , one of us getting chomped or finding a dead body .
Arh we survived.
You forgot Morris and his MaccasIt's mind boggling that they can get the food so wrong - it is so important in preparation and recovery during events. To blindly make decisions regarding what's available without consulting sports nutritionalists is incompetent at best, negligent at worst.
And this level athlete panics about breaking a fingernail before the event. A sudden and dramatic food change will be kryptonite for some. Think motty and his rice before the game times 10, 000.
Rituals and consistency are the lifeblood of athletes.
Are you serious. No way I'd swim around there.The good sold days when we were safe cause we just killed the sharks.
I did the swim around Julian rocks back then, felt safe. No way would I do that now.

The biggest parkland in Brisbane is now assured of going ahead after all three levels of government agreed to pump $120 million into its transformation as part of 2032 Olympics legacy projects.
$120 million doesn't go far. Some of these things could almost be supporting infrastructure for a future stadium
Can't be good news for the prospect of a stadium there.
