LET THE GAMES ABOUT THE GAMES BEGIN!
Now that Boston will be the U.S. bid for the 2024 Olympic Games, should Worcester and Central Massachusetts should get a piece of the action, beyond fully booked hotels, that is? That was the focal point of a WBJ editorial in the Jan. 19 edition, and we posted the question in our LinkedIn group as well.
“I imagine Lake Quinsig is an option for some of the rowing events. Longer distances would have to take place on the Charles, but Quinsig could handle overflow for some of the shorter distances, even if it's just for prelims.”
LinkedIn group member Guy Webb
“Another side to look at would be training activities — many opportunities there to provide facilities for athletes and teams (before) medal events.”
LinkedIn group member James Patrick Reynolds
“The marathon could use the same historic Boston Marathon course. The Olympic committees would probably find honoring and remembering what happened there with the bombings to be symbolic of the Olympic spirit.”
LinkedIn group member Greg Aldrich
