The Politics of Sport Olympic Timeline

9-8 years

10 years out

National Olympic Committees
nominate suggested cities and cities
submit candidature bids. Local
committees create competition briefs
for masterplans and international
design firms such as AECOM or
Populous are typically brought
on board to consult. (Rio was an
exception here, as AECOM did not
develop its masterplan until 5 years
before the Games). Consultations
on funding (both public and private)
and governance take place. Existing
venues are evaluated for efficacy,
and the legacy and delivery plans
take shape.

National Olympic Committees are
invited to declare their interest in
bidding for the Games; workshops
are provided to cities that express
interest. Over the next year, planning
studies assess the viability of the
Games, and develop the proposed
vision, strategy and concepts. If
there are calls for referendum on
cost overruns, public response can
torpedo bids at this stage (witness
Boston's bid for 2024).

6-5 years
Local architecture firms are hired
to help coordinate design competitions and bids are solicited for firms
to design individual venues. For Rio,
59 candidates originating from 18
countries bid to design the Olympic
Training Center. AECOM eventually
partnered with DG Architecture,
WilkinsonEyre Architects, Pujol
Barcelona Architects, and IMG Sports
and Expedition on the masterplan.

7 years
The IOC elects its host city. The
masterplan begins to be finalized,
and the city determines which venues
will be temporary structures, which
will be new construction, and which
existing buildings will be refurbished.
For Rio, the city was already equipped
with many venues, as it was the site
of the 2007 PanAmerican Games.
Not all were suitable for Olympics
competition, however. A new
velodrome was erected because the
existing structure wasn't approved
by the International Cycling Union,
and the cost of new construction was
equivalent to retrofi tting.
