I have finally worked out that thru some odd living and relocating selections that the Summer Olympics seems to follow me.  I believe I would be a perfect candidate for a world city using me as a marketing tool for bringing the Olympics to their city…. well these cities may have to potentially rethink this strategy as they would be stuck with a little nuggetty Aussie bloke as their spoke person, I personally think a fantastic strategy anyway.

In the year 2000 I lived in the State of Georgia in the US of A and briefly in Atlanta, Georgia.  Atlanta hosted the 1996 Summer Olympics.

I spent the first 21 years of my life in Sydney, Australia and oddly left about two months before the start of the 2000 Summer Olympics.

and

Now I live in Chicago that is one of the candidate cities for the 2016 Summer Olympics.

We all here in the TimeZoneOne Chicago office have our fingers crossed that Chicago will win the 2016 Summer Olympics and then maybe I will actually get to see the games.  Keep all your fingers and toes crossed for Chicago winning the bid then the world will see how fantastic this city really is.

Saturday August 16th, 2008 - this is a date that a number of proud New Zealanders will remember for a long, long time. 

It was a day that New Zealand had their most successful single day in the Summer Olympic history.  It was a morning of success where New Zealand athletes won two golds, one silver and two bronzes in Beijing, China.

The Olympics are almost here and loyal New Zealanders are getting behind our athletes with support and encouragement. Even one of our very own clients, Crocs, has become part of the New Zealand Olympic culture by adorning the feet of our athletes. So on this theme I’d like to share a fresh example of viral e-mail that I received on Friday, brought to you by Olympics NZ and Samsung. The clever concept behind this e-mail is that it appears to be a realistic NZ news site where, by answering a few key questions before sending it to your friends, you can personalize the video (sorry Hamish being on holiday put you closer to the scene of the crime than the rest of the business team). Oh…. and for our American viewers, the word ‘Togs’ is New Zealand slang for swimwear. Check it out using the link below.
