Where will the fire of the next Olympics come on? Will Asia Become a Sports Competition Center? These are questions everyone wants to get an answer to. South Korea, the 2018 Olympics - these components have come together as a whole, which promises a lot of interesting things.
Intrigue
Most recently, the closing of the Winter Olympics in Sochi took place. Behind ups and downs, joy and broken hopes. Only life does not stand still. If the Russian organizers breathed a sigh of relief and went on a well-deserved rest, then in faraway Pyeongchang, on the contrary, the preparation work is only just beginning. How to coordinate preparation activities? What grandiose changes await the Russian football infrastructure? Will new stadiums be built and ski slopes laid? What, besides carnivals, will Brazil please us in 2016? Mankind is facing many new perspectives and challenges in preparing for planetary-level competitions. Are we ready to solve them? The construction of Olympic facilities is a serious test for any country. The higher the bar, the more requirements. You can not stop halfway. How is the preparation going? What difficulties do the organizers face? Let's try to figure it out.
Why pyeongchang
Only on the third attempt did South Korea achieve the desired result. Previous applications ended in fiasco, and Vancouver and Sochi celebrated the victory. Finally, the whole world found out where the 2018 Olympics will be. Kim Jin Sung has been appointed President of the organizing committee. In Sochi, the Olympic functionary studied ways to manage infrastructure and adopted the experience of Russian colleagues.
What do we know about South Korea? This Asian country is developing rapidly. Today, the sports infrastructure has excellent ski slopes and sports facilities. This greatly simplifies preparation for games. A peculiar climate will allow athletes to compete and get a charge of vitality and health. Clean mountain air will help set new Olympic records. The region is divided into mountain and coastal clusters. Communication between them will be supported by trains. In addition to sports facilities, the country has many attractions that guests will appreciate. South Korea, the 2018 Olympics is a fateful event that will allow this Asian country to further strengthen its position in the global community. Therefore, Pyeongchang and chose for the honorable role of the host of the 2018 Winter Olympics .
When and where will the Summer Olympics take place
No one will know when and where the 2018 Summer Olympics will be, because the time interval between the Olympic Games is 4 years. After a grand sports festival in London in 2012, South America was the venue for the next. The country of carnivals and fun, Brazil, will welcome guests from all over the world in the summer of 2016. Preparation is not without difficulties. The biggest problem will be transport links. Landscape features limit the rapid movement to the Olympic Park. The Brazilians are laying a new metro line to minimize the time costs of everyone who wants to visit the spectacle. This task is complicated by the fact that when laying the subway line you have to break through solid granite. In addition to the new branch, the message will be supported by new bus routes. The stadium "Maracana", which should become the scene of the grand opening and closing, is quite outdated. Now it is undergoing a complete reconstruction. Also a new life should be lit up and the velodrome. The organizers promise to bring it in line with all Olympic requirements. But the venue for the Olympic Games in 2020 will again be Asia. Tokyo - this city expects fans. Unlike Pyeongchang, where the 2018 Olympics will be held, the country of new technologies, Japan, will meet everyone at the Summer Olympics.
2018 football goals
Everyone knows how many spectacles and positive emotions the Olympics can offer. In football 2018, the year 2018 will be marked by the World Cup in Russia. Mundial, as you know, is not inferior in entertainment. The geography of this event will amaze with its scale. Football battles will be hosted by Moscow, St. Petersburg, Kazan, and Yekaterinburg. And although until 2018 another 4 years, the preparation is proceeding at a rapid pace. The city’s sports arenas are at different stages of alert. A completely new concept is being developed for the Luzhniki stadium. Construction is already underway in St. Petersburg. In some cities, training is at the drafting level. Architects take into account the characteristics of each region. We consider the landscape, remoteness from other objects, the possibility of transport links. For example, in St. Petersburg the stadium will be located on the island. Accordingly, there is a need for an interesting and extraordinary solution to the transport issue.
Financing
Financing will be provided from the operating budget (FIFA organizing committee). The second component, on which the lion's share rests, is the funds allocated by the host country. This includes investor funds. Even a special budget program consisting of 11 sections has been created. The organizers promise free travel for fans, as well as visa-free entry into the country. Russia will once again show its high level of organization of such events after Sochi. The World Cup in Russia will be a spectacular continuation of sports events in Pyeongchang, where the 2018 Olympics will be. It is no secret to anyone that holding competitions of such a level is an important mission. The General Director of the Organizing Committee Alexey Sorokin assured that Russia will cope with this honorable task "excellently". The training committee includes 48 people. By 2018, their number should increase to 2000.
Prospects
Nothing brings nations closer together than joint efforts to prepare for sports. In 2016, in Brazil, where the next summer Olympics will be held; 2018 - in Russia, where the World Cup is waiting for us; and 2018 - in South Korea, where skiers and biathletes clash in battles - all are worried about the same problems. The main one is the timely completion of construction. In Pyeongchang, 6 new sports facilities are under completion. Infrastructure construction has already begun. The mountain resort Alpenzia, where it is planned to hold competitions in cross-country skiing, biathlon, sledding, bobsledding, skeleton, has always been distinguished by a high level of service. There are 6 ski slopes of different levels. From the diving board, an amazing view of the future Olympic village opens . In Hwen Park, the opening and closing of the Olympic Games is planned. Giant slalom competitions will be held in Enhepen. In addition, all fans will be able to visit the winter sports museum.
Difficulties
In Brazil, difficulty arose with the choice of construction site. Local residents oppose the demolition of their homes and relocation to apartment buildings. Architects and organizers can hardly convince people that the Olympic district, built with the latest technology, after the games will become one of the best and most beautiful places in the city. In addition, the local population will have new jobs. Engineers are tormented by the organization of treatment facilities at the site of the construction of future facilities. In recent years, the ecological state of a multi-million megalopolis has deteriorated significantly. The place where rowing and sailing competitions will be held is called the garbage lagoon. The transformation of this corner into paradise requires the manifestation of ingenuity and professionalism. The global partners of the Olympic Committee make a great contribution to the construction of new facilities. One example is DOW. By introducing innovative technologies, construction specialists turn sports infrastructure into a fairy tale. The Asian Olympics 2018, where the battle will take place in 7 winter sports and their varieties, is no exception.
Summary
It doesn’t matter which sport a person likes more. It will be a type of summer or winter Olympics. Or maybe a hot battle of football players at the next World Cup. Where will the 2018 or 2020 Olympics be? Everyone understands that competitions of this level are primarily designed to unite nations, consolidate joint efforts, and learn from each other's experiences. Children of all countries will be happy with the new stadiums. Perhaps this is where the new Olympic champions will grow. And already they will be in golden letters to write new names in the legendary annals. And although everyone knows the famous motto of the Olympics "The main thing is not victory, the main thing is participation", I want everyone to wish for victory!
