I’m not sure there’s an event I ever cover that requires as muchadvance logistics planning as the Olympics. Travel plans start up to ayear before The Games, and from there on you continue to prepare untilthe games begin. In this post, I will discuss how I did my best toprepare for these games in advance, and how I packed all of myequipment for the Olympics—something that took well over a month on itsown in the end. (You can find a gallery of how I packed my equipment,and a detailed explanations of each step here.)

This is the gear I had to choose from. ©Vincent Laforet
