Special Olympics World Games LA2015 Vision In a city full of movie stars and all-stars, the athletes of the Special Olympics World Games will be the stars this summer. As the world’s media and entertainment capital, and as a city that is the embodiment of diversity and inclusion, Los Angeles provides the perfect global stage to highlight the talents, courage and determination of people with intellectual disabilities. 1.2 LA2015 Contacts Delegation Services Main Hotline: +1 (213) 986-9875 Delegation Services Fax: +1 (213) 986-9875 If you have a non-life threatening emergency while attending an event not affiliated with the World Games, please contact the Delegation Services Main Hotline so that our staff can try to assist you. If you have a life-threatening emergency while attending an event not affiliated with the World Games, please dial 9-1-1 to connect to the Los Angeles County Fire / Police Department. 1.3 Public Safety and Security The LA2015 Security Team will provide a safe and secure environment at the World Games for Delegations, Officials, spectators, staff and volunteers by managing access points and crowd control at all venues throughout Los Angeles. Security will also work closely with transportation services to manage bus and vehicle access and traffic routes to parking and shuttle locations. Planned event security for participants and spectators includes: • Access Control – checking credentials for access to specific buildings and venues, monitored by Spectator Services staff. • Crowd Control – monitoring and enforcing venue seating capacities, safety and prohibited items. • Accommodations Security – 24 hour security and credential access control at Delegation accommodation locations. • Campus Security – 24-hour security on campus and patrols around the perimeter of campus at USC and UCLA. 3 • Emergency Response – working with local law enforcement agencies on execution of emergency response plans. 1.4 Delegation Transportation System The goal of the Transportation Department is to provide the safest, most efficient and accommodating transportation system for all constituents, throughout the entire period of the World Games. This goal will be achieved using comfortable air-conditioned buses. Delegations will have access to an exclusive transport system offering scheduled Bus Service to and from housing, venues and hubs. The following arrangements are being planned to meet the needs of athletes, Coaches, and Officials. Transportation Access An LA2015 credential marked with a T-level will give delegates access to scheduled transportation services. To ensure the safety of delegates at all times, only registered members of a Delegation will be allowed to ride buses designated for Delegations. Individuals without the LA2015 credential for delegates will not be permitted to board Delegation buses under any circumstances. Athlete Housing Upon completion of the Host Town activities, Delegations will be picked up at their Host Town and transported by motor coaches to the Athlete Villages at either University of Southern California (USC) or University of California Los Angeles (UCLA). Travel to Competition (On-campus) The following sports will be held on-campus at USC and UCLA respectively. Athletes competing in sports at USC or UCLA will travel less than 2 kilometers (1 mile) from their housing site to reach their competition venue. Distance To and From Competition Venues From To Distance UCLA Balboa Sports Center 16 km (10 mi) UCLA Long Beach 54 km (34 mi) UCLA USC 20 km (12 mi) From To Distance USC Wilson & Harding Golf Courses 20 km (12 mi) USC LA Equestrian Center 24 km (15 mi) USC LA Convention Center 3 km (2 mi) USC Long Beach 40 km (25 mi) USC UCLA 20 km (12 mi) 4 Games Vehicles Delegation transportation vehicles will be equipped with air-conditioning and three-point seat belts for optimal safety and comfort. Vehicles' Markings Buses will be identifiable by: • Destination sign • Service group (e.g. Delegations) • LA2015 branding Opening and Closing Ceremonies Delegations will be transported on air-conditioned school buses from USC and UCLA housing to the Opening Ceremony. Closing Ceremony transportation on Sunday, August 2 will use the same plan as for the Opening Ceremony. 1.5 Language Services The purpose of International Relations and Language Services is to ensure that guests from more than 165 countries who speak 71 different languages can fully communicate, participate and relate to each other without any language impediment. Language Services will provide translation and interpretation services before and during the World Games. Multilingual Sport volunteers will be available in every competition venue. 1.6 Medical Services LA2015 will provide multiple levels of medical care as needed for all athletes participating in the World Games as well as provide basic first aid to spectators and non-athletes attending the World Games. The goal of the LA2015 Medical Team is to act in the best interest of the individual, strive to return the athlete to the sporting event in an efficient and timely manner, and provide all individuals a seamless transition into the community health care system if necessary. Medical Services will provide comprehensive treatment from initial intervention to definitive care and discharge. The primary functions provided by Medical Services for athletes and Delegation Members include: • Triage at the Field of Play • Treatment of Minor Injuries • Referral for Urgent Care at the Poly Clinic • Referral for Acute Care • Follow-up Care • Overnight Care at Accommodations Venues Completion of the athlete medical form, which includes a physical exam, is mandatory for each athlete to register and participate in the World Games and must be completed by a physician prior to arriving in LA. 5 MedFest MedFest, a Special Olympics Healthy Athletes program discipline, will operate on the USC and UCLA campuses on July 24 and 25 to provide comprehensive sport physicals to clear athletes for competition. In order to ensure the health of the athletes, they may only compete if they submit complete and accurate athlete medical forms and once the LA2015 Medical Team has cleared them. Athlete Injuries On Field Of Play A participant who is suspected of sustaining a concussion in a practice, game or competition shall be removed from practice, play or competition at that time. During the World Games a qualified medical professional will be available to render an evaluation, that person shall have final authority as to the removal or return to play of the participant. The participant’s parent, coach or guardian will be made aware that the participant is suspected of sustaining a concussion. A participant who has been removed from practice, play or competition due to a suspected concussion may not participate in World Games sports activities until either of the following occurs: • At least seven (7) consecutive days have passed since the participant was removed from play and a currently licensed, qualified medical professional provides written clearance for the participant to return to practice, play and competition; or • A currently licensed, qualified medical professional determines that the participant did not suffer a concussion and provides written clearance for the participant to return to practice play immediately. Written clearance in either of the scenarios above shall become a permanent record.

  • Visible Or Invisible Games? a Critique on the Future of the World Games
    PHYSICAL CULTURE AND SPORT STUDIES AND RESEARCH DOI: 10.2478/v10141-010-0003-3 Visible or Invisible Games? A Critique on the Future of the World Games Li-Hong (Leo) Hsu International Olympic and Multicultural Studies Centre (CEO), Da-Yeh University, Taiwan ABSTRACT As the crowded calendar of world sport and the increasing competition between sporting festivals is likely to affect more second-tier global sporting festivals than the Olympic Games (Cashman 2004, p. 134), this paper attempts to answer a few questions concerning the future of the World Games, i.e. a multi-sport mega event. The first and primary question is whether it is worthwhile to host the World Games. In this paper reasoned justification will be provided with a critical eye. Furthermore, questions will be raised about the when and particularly about the where. The content of the World Games’ programs will be briefly discussed and critically evaluated as well. As an example the author will use the 2009 World Games in Kaohsiung, Taiwan for discussion. KEYWORDS World Games, mega event, Kaohsiung I. Introduction For the world of mega-sporting-events, many would agree that the Olympic Games have drawn the most attention, because of their ultimate level of athletic performance. One can also note that there is constant evolution and change in mega-sporting-events around us. With the hope of achieving political, cultural, and economic benefits mega-sporting-events have become a useful means for many countries. With these objectives in mind, the process of bidding for an internationally well-known mega-sporting-event has become very competitive ever since.
