I have asked few of people in my network with direct experience of the games these 3 questions for A guy with a scarf:
1. How was Paris 2024 compared to your expectations? What exceeded, what fell short.
2. The most innovative thing you saw (in any of venue, broadcast, digital, social).
3. What should be improved in LA?
Here is what Pete had to say:
š¼ Pete spent 17 days in Paris, implementing Play Anywhere's technology with two broadcasters.
š He praised Paris's infrastructure, particularly the efficient public transportation and multilingual staff.
š“ The city was less crowded due to Parisians taking their August vacations, making it easier to navigate.
𤸠Pete highlighted the diversity of sports, including breakdancing and speed climbing, showcasing the Games' evolution.
š± Olympic Broadcast Services excelled in storytelling across platforms, especially leveraging social media for "snackable" highlights to attract younger audiences.
š Innovative signage, including floor stickers in train stations, helped guide visitors effectively.
š“ Looking ahead to LA 2028, Pete anticipates transportation being a major challenge compared to Paris.
