SINCE YOU ASKED Since You Asked: Olympic memorabilia available for sale Comment MailTribune.com Writer Posted Aug. 21, 2016 at 12:01 AM Posted Aug. 21, 2016 at 12:01 AM » Social News I'm an avid Olympics viewer, as are many at this time. I'm wondering, what happens with all the equipment that sports the "Rio 2016" logo after the Olympics end? — Paige, Ashland We boldly put in a message to the Rio 2016 Organizing Committee regarding to your query, but until representatives get unburied from their major international sporting event and answering CNN's Ryan Lochte questions, we've got some answers for you. Memorabilia from the Games is available through an online auction site organized by the Rio 2016 committee. So if you're after the beach volleyball used in Brazil's match against Poland, that's available for R$900 (about $281 American). Other items for sale include tennis balls and boxing gloves used during Olympic matches, along with torches or flags from ceremonies. If you feel like window-shopping, see www.leilaooficial.rio2016.com . We're waiting for comment from Rio 2016 bigwigs regarding what happens to the weights, track hurdles and pommel horse, but we did find a 2012 story from The Guardian in London (the city that hosted the 2012 Summer Games) about efforts to sell off about 15 truckloads of beanbag chairs, along with substantial quantities of everything from bedside lamps to coat hangers to traffic cones made for the event. According to the story, the industrial furniture company that provided athletes' accommodations and temporary chairs also agreed to take the stuff back, leading to packed warehouses and a major online sale to offload the lightly used items.
