00:00Brisbane's turn to host the Olympic Games in 2032 is still a ways off, but the recently
00:06concluded Paris 2024 event offers a treasure trove of lessons.
00:12Brisbane 2032 Organising Committee President Andrew Liveris, freshly returned from his
00:17daily briefings with IOC and Paris organisers, shares what the Queensland capital can take
00:22away to make its Games spectacular.
00:25First and foremost, Liverpool notes how Paris' use of temporary venues at iconic landmarks
00:31was a brilliant move.
00:33Though Brisbane lacks an Eiffel Tower, it boasts stunning beaches and tropical scenery.
00:39The mantra?
00:40No rules for venues, turning every unique spot into an Olympic stage.
00:46Liveris emphasises, Australians love sports, place them where people already go, make it
00:52fun for everyone.
00:55But what's a great venue without comfortable lodging?
00:58Liveris recounts that the Paris Olympic Village's initial food and accommodation left much to
01:03be desired.
01:04You've got to make the athlete experience the very best.
01:09They train all their lives for this, he stresses.
01:13Ensuring athletes have hearty meals and a good night's sleep from day one is paramount.
01:19Paris also tackled a massive security budget to keep everyone safe, deploying an additional
01:2445,000 soldiers and police.
01:28While Brisbane might not need patrols with automatic weapons, Liveris underscores the
01:33importance of a solid security plan.
01:35The true measure of success lies in resilience, Liveris adds, reflecting on Paris' turbulent
01:42first days, from drenching rains to militant attacks, which were swiftly managed by comm
01:47authorities.
01:49This demeanour reassured the public and kept the Games on track.
01:54The Paris Olympics also demonstrated that negative media is inevitable.
01:59Still, as sport takes the forefront, the initial gloom lifts, delivering an unforgettable spectacle.
02:07Brisbane's organisers should channel this by focusing on seamless execution and public
02:11engagement, much like Mayer and Hidalgo's bold attitude.
