Accreditation application, by the numbers

  • People who actually signed for the “courier” delivery: 0
  • Pages of the application: 1
  • Blanks on the application: 27 (not counting photo)
  • Blanks I actually needed to fill out: 18 (not counting photo)
  • Pages of the accompanying manual: 98 (plus ancillary CD-ROM)
  • Pages of that manual which are in English: 43 (the French section is inexplicably longer)
  • Pages dedicated to examples of acceptable and unacceptable photos for the OIAC (in the English section): 5
  • Number of impenetrable abbreviations like OIAC (Olympic Identity and Accreditation Card): I lost count

(Update, the next day)

  • Cost to send it back to Monaco, counting photo(s): ~$55
