Olympics|At the Paris Olympics, one competition venue is 270 kilometers from the capital.
of Paris the shooting stadium of Chateauroux, which is the venue for the Olympics, is not to everyone’s liking.
Top sports director of the Swiss Shooting Association Daniel Burger your roads the size of the stadium a good week before the start of the Olympics for the Swiss Blickfor the magazine.
“It’s too small. It’s not Olympic-eligible! Burger complained.”
“We would need 4,000-5,000 seats, but only 700 spectators can fit there. Journalists and civil servants take a third of that.”
According to Blick, Chateauroux’s stadium was a backup plan for the Olympics organizers. Originally, the shooting sports were also supposed to be held in Paris, but since there was no space for skeet shooting, the shooting sports were moved entirely to the city of Chateauroux, which is located about 270 kilometers from the French capital.
There are also economic reasons behind the move, as it will be cheaper to organize all shooting sports in one place than to split the competitions between Paris and Chateauroux.
However, Burger is of the opinion that the level of sophistication of the Chateauroux stadium is worthy of the Olympics, even though the arena itself was not designed for the Olympics.
“You have to deal with the wind there,” added the Swiss boss.
