Andrew Liveris, a member of the organizing committee, has pointed out that the decentralized nature of the Games across the state will incur additional costs. However, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) is generally pleased with the progress being made.
While breakdancing is vying for a return, Liveris expressed skepticism about the potential comeback of Raygun.
“I’m not sure about that,” he commented.
“Breakdancing has indeed submitted an application, so we’ll have to wait and see. There’s no indication yet of which sports we’ll choose.”
Meanwhile, Brisbane is optimistic about avoiding the logistical issues currently faced by Italy, where, just days before the Winter Olympics, a new ice hockey stadium is still under construction.
The race is on to complete this specialized venue in time for the competitions, though it’s already operating with limited capacity due to incomplete seating arrangements.
