			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>- Will ne Tomas Patera fired? (chief of Olympic Prgue in czech Praha Olympijská?)</p>
<p>- Pavel Bem, Prague leader siad, that he wants Olympic Games 2020 in Prague</p>
<p>- There could be problem with finance, Prague 2020 needs goverment</p>
<p><span id="more-15"></span></p>
<p>Prague has bid for the Games before, most recently in the 1970s. But the Soviet Union soon put paid to Prague&#8217;s Olympic ambitions, and after pressure from Moscow the bid was withdrawn.</p>
<p>The 2020 Summer Olympics (officially known as the Games of the XXXII Olympiad) is a major international sports and cultural festival to be celebrated in the tradition of the Olympic Games. The International Olympic Committee has yet to begin the selection process.</p>
<p><strong>Monterrey is considering a 2020 Summer Olympic bid, according to Felipe Muñoz, President of the Mexican Olympic Committee.</strong></p>
<h2>Prague 2020 bid</h2>
<p>So the Czech Olympic Committee sees 2016 as a sort of dry run for <strong>2020</strong> or 2024. Prague will have some very tough competition in Europe - Paris, Madrid, Moscow, possibly Berlin. But even very idea of hosting Games is not to everyone&#8217;s liking, with some saying Prague is just too small to host the Olympics and the whole enterprise will be far too expensive. So do the people of Prague actually want the Games? Vladimir Dostal remains optimistic they will support a bid to host the Games.</p>
<h3>Prague 2020 comments</h3>
<p><em>It looks beautiful but I think its unreal to do it. In near future Olympics will be much more expensive than they are now, so there will exist a very short list of cities which will have enough money to organize Olympic Games.</em></p>
<p><em>As we know from history, from Athens last year for example, the support gradually increases. It&#8217;s a normal process that at the beginning of the bidding process people don&#8217;t agree too much, and the support is very low. But what about the Prague 2020?</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What will we do with the concrete monuments?</p>
<div class="answer">
<p>There won’t be any. If the Czech Republic wins the Olympic Games candidacy, only three new sport centres will be needed. Aqua Park in Šutka will be nearly or completely finished by then. The arena at Letnany Exhibition Centre will be converted into a ceremonial stadium and a velodrome for cyclists is planned to be built. The main condition is that all of the facilities will be utilized both before and after the Games. That is what we are putting forward, we don’t intend to become another Peking.</p>
</div>
<div>
<p class="question"><a id="faq-destroy_greenery" name="faq-destroy_greenery"></a>Aren’t the sport centres going to destroy remaining greenery?</p>
<div class="answer">
<p>In Prague there isn’t lack of greenery. On the contrary, development of the Olympic complex is an opportunity to increase the amount of green areas. Prague won’t lose a single tree because of the Olympic Games!</p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<p class="question"><a id="faq-influence_lives" name="faq-influence_lives"></a>How are the Olympic Games going to influence the lives of ordinary Praguers?</p>
<div class="answer">
<p>It will bring them an unforgettable sporting experience the like of which they would have to travel half way across the world to see. Millions of people will never have an opportunity to experience the Olympic Games in their own city. The Olympic Games won’t significantly change city life. The city is not inflatable. Instead of the admirers of Gothic architecture, the city will be visited by sports fans.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<p class="question"><a id="faq-manage" name="faq-manage"></a>Is Prague going to manage? Won’t we make a fool of ourselves?</p>
<div class="answer">
<p>Why shouldn’t we manage? Why do we always underestimate ourselves, we are no worse than any other city in the world!</p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<p class="question"><a id="faq-no_profit_involved" name="faq-no_profit_involved"></a>Why does Prague bid for the Olympic Games if there is no profit involved?</p>
<div class="answer">
<p>This is not true. Since 1976 (Montreal) all the Olympic Games have been profitable.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<p class="question"><a id="faq-over_budget" name="faq-over_budget"></a>Why is it that so far all the organisers have gone over budget and the Games cost more than was originally planned?</p>
<div class="answer">
<p>We need to distinguish between direct and indirect costs and costs covering the towns and countries development. Athens has a new air port thanks to the Games and London completely renovated Lee Valley district. These countries were able to afford investments only because of the profit they expected from the Games.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<p class="question"><a id="faq-spend_millions" name="faq-spend_millions"></a>Why does Prague spend millions on the Olympic candidature and small towns and villages are loosing money?</p>
<div class="answer">
<p>Candidacy costs are fully covered from the OPS Prague budget. Founders of the organisation are the Czech Olympic Committee and the capital city Prague. The candidacy hasn’t and won’t cost any village or town anything.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<p class="question"><a id="faq-traffic" name="faq-traffic"></a>Won’t the new infrastructure buildings harm the already weak traffic situation?</p>
<div class="answer">
<p>On the contrary, the infrastructure buildings should be a benefit to the traffic situation.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<p class="question"><a id="faq-traffic_infrastructure" name="faq-traffic_infrastructure"></a>How can we organise the Olympic Games without sufficient traffic infrastructure?</p>
<div class="answer">
<p>Currently it wouldn’t be possible; however, in 2016 there will be sufficient infrastructure regardless of the Olympic Games. The fact that the completion of a city ring road has been dragging on is not related to the Olympic candidacy. On the contrary, the candidacy can become a reason to keep to schedule. This doesn’t concern just a Prague circuit road.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<p class="question"><a id="faq-why_the_prague_olympic_games" name="faq-why_the_prague_olympic_games"></a>Why the Prague Olympic Games?</p>
<div class="answer">
<p>It is not going to be just a matter of Prague. All the projects are in line with the slogans “Olympic Games for the Czech Republic” and “We are all part of the national team”. Thanks to the Olympic Games candidature 130 sport centres in 75 Czech cities will be developed.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<p class="question"><a id="faq-paralympic_games" name="faq-paralympic_games"></a>Will the Czech Republic apply to hold the Paralympic Games in addition to the Olympic Games?</p>
<div class="answer">
<p>The Paralympic Games are a part of the Olympic Games so if we succeed in our effort to host the Olympic Games we will automatically become a host of the Paralympic Games. The Paralympic sportsmen will rotate with the Olympic sportsmen in the Olympic village.</p>
</div>
</div>
<div>
<p class="question"><a id="faq-candidate_cities" name="faq-candidate_cities"></a>When are we going to find out which cities will be the IOC choice for 2016?</p>
<div class="answer">
<p>The organiser of the XXXI Olympic Games will be chosen from the so called Candidate Cities at the 121<sup>st</sup> IOC election meeting in Copenhagen in October 2009. The names of Candidate Cities will be published in June 2008.</p>

<p>Reaction to the IOC           decision:</p>
<p>Pavel Bém, Prague’s           Mayor:</p>
<p>”The news didn’t surprise           me. It is also not at all a tragedy. We went into the           competition about the year 2016 with very small chances           because of 2012 Olympic Summer Games that will take place           in London. On top of that, this time our competitors were           really better. Rio de Janeiro didn’t already make it           twice among candidate cities and Brazil still dreams           about Olympic Games. Since the very beginning we have           been declaring that our first Olympic steps would indeed           be self-confident but at the same time it would have an           introductory nature. We presented ourselves to the world           as a brave city that is interested in Olympic Games and           we discovered that the project is perspective, sensible           and considered (not at all megalomaniac). We will now           further develop it, so it can become a candidate project           in 2020. We will further improve all positive aspects;           learn from recommendations of IOC and set mistakes right.           A task is before us that offers a vision to the whole           Czech Republic. This vision is to become a modern and           prospering country where in 12 years time will be           possible to organize big international sport competitions           and maybe also Olympic Games.”</p>
<p>Tomáš Petera, Director of           OPS Prague Olympic:</p>
<p><q>Announcement of candidates met with a huge interest             from media and was accompanied by significant safety             precautions. There were few dozen TV crews and hundreds             of photographs. The announcement itself took just few             minutes. Names of cities that are advancing to next             stages were read without any further comments. These             cities were of course rejoicing in their success, the             others can succeed next time. This time Spain and             Brazil were the happy ones but in the past both Rio de             Janeiro and Seville didn’t even make it among candidate             cities. This fact is surely encouraging for Prague as             it means that we certainly have hope. At the moment we             are waiting for the IOC’s analysis and for the             evaluation of our Application file that will help us to             make improvements for the competition about the year             2020. We certainly have something to build on.</q></p>
<p>Karel Tejkal, spokesman of           OPS Prague Olympic:</p>
<p><q>Prague Olympic is a service organisation managed by             the capital city Prague’s council. It is financed             solely from the city Prague’s budget and from the             Olympic Committee. Our organisation will carry on with             its activity. We will concentrate on analysis of the             Application file’s evaluation and on putting pieces             together to achieve that during the next application it             will be even more apparent that Olympic candidacy is             not about concrete monsters and lost milliards but that             the opposite is true. We will work on such a concept             that is in tune with the vision of the 2020 Czech             Republic as a modern and prospering country. Expenses             will be also in the future covered from the city Prague             and Czech Olympic Committee’s budge and will be             specified on the basis of submitted plans of steps to             be carried in following years. What I consider as             absolutely essential is the fact that Prague came with             a quality and competitive project that also involved             minimum expenses – its expenses were about half of the             second cheaper project’s ones and one tenth of the most             expensive               project’s             expenses.</q></p>

<p>Czech&#8217;s nomination to host the Olympic Games in 2016, or     possibly in 2020, is already underway. This is a third try by     Prague and the Czech Republic to host the world&#8217;s biggest     sporting event. The previous attempts in the last century     failed due to political issues.</p>
<p>The first serious Olympic candidature proposal was made in     December 1920. Its author was Ji?í Guth-Jarkovský, who had been     working since 1919 as the International Olympic Committee     secretary-general. He became inspired with the concept whilst     visiting the Olympic Games in Athens in 1896.</p>
<p>Ji?í Guth-Jarkovský, chief marshal to the president Tomáš     Garrigue Masaryk, persuaded major politicians, including the     Minister of Foreign Affairs Edvard Beneš, about the Olympic     Game&#8217;s benefits for the Republic. In reality the competition     between the five other candidates (Amsterdam, Barcelona, Los     Angeles, Roma and Paris) didn&#8217;t take place, even though Prague     was included in the IOC statistics as a candidate city.</p>
<p>Ji?í Guth-Jarkovský was reportedly persuaded by his friend,     French baron Pierre de Coubertin who was a founder of the     modern Games. His desire was to say goodbye to the Olympic     Games on home territory which was why the Czech capital city     didn&#8217;t stand as a candidate.</p>
<p>The election was won by Paris and Prague was given, in     return, an opportunity to organize VIII International Committee     Congress in 1925.</p>
<p>The Congress proved to be a success and the Czech Olympic     Committee declared in January 1926 to be in favour of Prague     hosting the Olympic Games. There was even an Olympic fund     created but in the end the attempt was marred by the start of     the Second World War.</p>
<p>The Prague Olympic Games initiative was brought back to life     at the end of sixties by the head of the Czech Olympic     Committee, Professor Emanuel Bosák. During the candidacy     procedure for 1980 the preparatory studies were drawn up.     According to them, the central locality was supposed to be at     Maniny, the project would have been financially backed by the     public purse and in 1968 the government also announced its     support. The Warsaw Pact invasion and normalisation put an end     to the Olympic dreams. Prague had to make way for Moscow, where     the Olympic Games finally took place in 1980. All that Prague     was left with was the hotel Olympik, the only reminder of     Prague candidacy.</p>
<p>The third nomination attempt doesn&#8217;t concern just the     capital city. Its motto is &#8220;Olympic Games for the Czech     Republic&#8221; and it should take place in other locations as well.     The whole republic&#8217;s policy counts on the involvement of all     the Czech districts which would host preparatory training camps     and serve as Olympic sports facilities.</p>
