纽约，10月15日：随着奥运会规模不断扩大，给主办国的基础设施规划带来复杂挑战，地理上分散举办的奥运会正逐渐成为常态，美国奥林匹克与残奥委员会（USOPC）首席执行官莎拉·赫希兰德周四表示。
NEW YORK, Oct 15 : Geographically dispersed Games are well on their way to becoming the norm, USOPC CEO Sarah Hirshland said on Thursday, as the growing scale of the Olympics complicates infrastructure plans for hosts.
国际奥委会官员赞扬了最近的米兰-科尔蒂纳奥运会取得成功，尽管人们最初对首届分散举办的冬季奥运会存在担忧，其比赛场地分布在22000公里范围内。
IOC officials hailed the most recent Milano Cortina Games as a success, despite early concerns over the first spread-out Winter Olympics that had venues scattered over 22,000 kilometres.
即将举行的洛杉矶2028年奥运会也预计将采取分散举办的形式，垒球和皮划艇激流回旋赛将在俄克拉荷马城举行，足球赛则将分布在多个都市地区：纽约市；俄亥俄州哥伦布；田纳西州纳什维尔；圣路易斯；加州圣何塞；以及加州圣地亚哥。
The upcoming LA28 Games are also expected to be spread out, with softball and canoe slalom set to take place in Oklahoma City and soccer to be in several metropolitan areas: New York City; Columbus, Ohio; Nashville, Tennessee; St. Louis; San Jose, California; and San Diego.
“奥运会本身的分散举办正在演变。而且很大程度上这是因为奥运会的规模变得如此庞大和重要，以至于在单一地点寻找举办所需的基础设施变得非常困难，”赫希兰德说道，她当时正在哥伦比亚大学体育管理会议上发言。
"The disbursement of the Games themselves is evolving. And a lot of that is because the scale of the Games has gotten so big and significant that the infrastructure required to host is very hard to find in a single place," said Hirshland, who was speaking from the Columbia University Sports Management Conference.
2030年法国阿尔卑斯山冬季奥运会预计将效仿米兰-科尔蒂纳模式，比赛场地将设在尼斯和阿尔卑斯地区。纽约州今年成立了一个探索委员会，以申办2042年冬季奥运会，举办职责将在五个行政区和普拉西德湖之间共享。
The 2030 Games in the French Alps are expected to follow the Milano Cortina model, with venues in Nice and the Alpine regions. New York state this year formed an exploratory committee to host the 2042 Winter Games, with the duties to be shared between the five boroughs and Lake Placid.
相比之下，犹他州2034年奥运会的集中场地规划将成为“罕见的例外”，赫希兰德表示。
By comparison, the centralised plan for Utah 2034's venues will serve as a "rare exception," said Hirshland.
“洛杉矶2028年奥运会很可能成为有史以来规模最大的夏季奥运会，”她说。
"It is likely that the LA 2028 Games will be the largest summer Games ever," she said.
“我的猜测是，此后的夏季奥运会规模可能会小于洛杉矶2028年奥运会的规模。其中很大一部分原因是基础设施需求、成本需求，以及在一定程度上，即使是物流也变得如此繁琐，以至于除非你真正重新思考你的做法，否则无法继续扩大规模。”}
"My guess is that the summer Games thereon after will probably be smaller than what we're going to see in LA. And a lot of that is infrastructure demand, cost demand, and to some degree there is a point at which even the logistics get so cumbersome that you can't continue to grow unless you really rethink the way you do it."
