Olympics superfan spends US$10,000 on Paris tickets

PARIS: Vivianne Robinson was first bitten by the Olympics bug at the 1984 Los Angeles Games. Four decades on, the Santa Monica native is soaking up the sporting extravaganza at her seventh Games, in Paris. Robinson, 66, worked two jobs to save up the US$10,000 she has spent on tickets to the opening ceremony and three dozen sporting events. When she’s not cheering on competitors from the stands, she can be found on the Champs Elysees, decked out in a patchwork Olympics-themed tracksuit.
