Uniform and Accreditation

I scheduled to collect my OIAC (Olympic Identity and Accreditation Card) and uniform kits on 20 July. The venue is at Cidade do Samba, Rua Rivadávia Corrêa.

First, I went to collect my OIAC by providing them my official document. After they verified my document against the data in their system, they took a picture to be used in the card. Thereafter they directed me to the next building to collect my uniform kit.

There are several counters in uniform distribution center. First zone is the registration area and they gave me a Rio travel card which will be automatically top-up with balance on my working day here. Second zone is uniform (shirt, pant, jacket and belt) fitting area. The area are divided into two rooms, one for man and one for woman. Third zone is collection area. I received three polo shirts, two pants, a belt, a jacket, a cap, a bag, three pairs of socks, a pair of shoe, a raincoat and a water bottle. Last zone is validation area, they validate all items and checked if I received all the items.

Eu sei o que eu quero pra vida, pois nada vem fácil, irmão,
Sem o suor, o valor da conquista permanece em vão.
Sempre é hora pra fazer algo melhor acontecer,
E a sua hora vai chegar… (Agora é pra valer!)

Um mundo novo só de gente boa
Esse é o meu lugar
Não nasci ontem não, sigo nessa missão,
E assim eu vou chegar.

Fazer acontecer, lutar e conquistar,
Mantenho a fé pra caminhar, e assim eu vou
Oh oh oh. Oh oh oh,
De alma e coração.

A vida não é brincadeira, não marco bobeira,
eu cheguei pra ficar,
Acredito que tudo tem hora,
tem o seu momento e tem o seu lugar.
Pois errar faz parte, evoluir é arte,
basta acreditar, depende de você.

Be There and Shine!

PyeongChang 2018 began volunteers recruitment program on 1 July 2016. Using a new website for applications, the initiative seeks to recruit 22,400 volunteers from around the world for three months until the end of September.

I applied as volunteer thru their volunteer website on 3 July. Basically the application form is similar to Rio 2016 one. After I filled up the application form and submitted it, I received the confirmation mail from them. And it means my journey to PyeongChang 2018 began.
