I live in Rio. I bought all RG tickets.
If you need anything in Rio, let me know.
It will be a pleasure to help you! _________________ And in the end the love you take is equal to the love you make |

I will be in Rio, working for my newspaper, though I can only hope I can go to RG (Dóra Vass qualifying would've helped a lot in that!). The Olympics is the only major RG event I haven't seen live, so I really, really, really hope I can go to one of the events.
But I'm in a way tied to the Hungarians - wherever our athletes go that is the priority, everything else comes after that. If there will be a "wish event", I'll ask for the individual AA final. _________________ "Time is a great teacher; unfortunately it kills all its pupils." |

By the way, can I please turn to you if I have Rio questions before the Games?
Having worked at the World Cup I'm somewhat familiar with the surroundings, but local help is always a huge help! _________________ "Time is a great teacher; unfortunately it kills all its pupils." |

Apologize late answer, just now coming to this thread. As relayed to Cameron today on FB and to few others earlier, I have no plan for Rio. AG photog for USA federation will stay on for RG and cover team USA. Well, I tried, just how it is. RG is still too small in my country. I have no plan this time to buy tickets, work from tribune seats with big lens. I think about Tokyo 2020...
A month ago, a small 4-5 man video crew from LA contacted me for advice on covering Olympics (they have press center accreditation only, not for the venues). Been to Brazil 3-times, one of the things I advised--> get a local chaperone to escort you, if you can. Some one like Vana |
