The Fan Center does exactly that, and besides being fun, it also gives children appreciation for sports through the experience of cheering together, which is why Budapest’s government joined as a supporting partner.

At the press meeting the organizers also introduced a time capsule which was placed on the spot and the individuals present were able to submit their own guesses for the Olympic results. The capsule will be opened after the last day of the Olympics and whoever guessed the actual result or came the closest is in for a special surprise on the Fan Center’s stage.
