Question: The Olympics Hassan Al-Absi competed in took place in what city?
Context: Manfred Oettl Reyes (born October 23, 1993 in Germany) is an alpine skier born in Germany to a Peruvian mother who has competed on behalf of Peru since 2010.  He has competed since 2009 in a variety of alpine skiing events, including the slalom, giant slalom, downhill, and super combined, at a number of junior international competitions.  As of February, 2010, his best finish in any of these competitions was 32nd, at a downhill event in Italy.  His club is the Association Peruana de Ski.  Oettl Reyes was selected at the age of 16 to be one of three members of Peru's delegation to the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Canada, the first Peruvian team to participate in the Winter Olympics.  His older sister Ornella Oettl Reyes, also an alpine skier, was selected for the team as well.  He is scheduled to compete in both the slalom and giant slalom competitions there, although he was not expected to be in serious competition for a medal.  His participation on behalf of Peru was questioned by some , as he was not only born in Germany but lives there and is only half-Peruvian.  He and his sister were last minute additions to the Olympic roster.  They both met the minimum time qualifications for participation, but that participation was questioned as neither had taken part in a World Championship prior to the Olympics.  In response to this criticism, the Peruvian Olympic Committee explained that they were in the process of receiving their Peruvian passports when the last World Championships took place, and so could not yet compete on behalf of Peru.  The controversy also prompted some commenters to question why the Peruvian government has not done more to identify and develop athletes within the country.  However, the practice of smaller countries sending athletes who are technically citizens of those countries but who reside elsewhere to participate in international competitions is not uncommon.  Despite the controversy, the pair asked Peruvians to embrace them and their participation on behalf of Peru at the Olympics. For the Summer Olympics, there are 34 venues that have been or will be used for water polo.  Debutting in 1900, the first venues took place similar to that of the swimming events.  By the 1908 Games, the first water polo venue not located on a river or a lake took place.  It was not until the 1920 Games that a separate venue was created for the aquatic venues.  1948 was the first Olympics in water polo took place both indoor and in more than one venue.  The first separate water polo venue that was not connected to other aquatic venues was at the 1964 Summer Olympics in Tokyo. Somalia participated at the 2012 Summer Olympics in London, United Kingdom, which took place from 27 July to 12 August 2012.  The country's participation in London marked its ninth appearance in the Summer Olympics since its debut at the 1972 Summer Olympics.  The delegation included one short-distance sprinter and one long-distance runner: Mohamed Hassan Mohamed and Zamzam Mohamed Farah.  Both qualified for the games through wildcard places from the International Association of Athletics Federations.  Farah was selected as the flag bearer for both the opening and closing ceremonies.  Mohamed and Farah failed to advance beyond the heat stage of their respective events. Robinson Ekspeditionen 2009 was the twelfth season of the Danish version of the Swedish show Expedition Robinson.  This season premiered on September 31, 2009 and aired until November 23, 2009.  The main twist this season was that the contestants were to be divided up into tribes based on the results of an IQ test they took before the show.  The season began with four players exiting in episode 1, only one of which was eliminated.  The first of these four was Jesper Hansen, who was evacuated due to medical reasons before the tribes were formed.  Then siblings Michael Kristiansen and Sascha Kristiansen both refused to compete in the first immunity challenge and decided to leave the show shortly after it concluded.  Beginning with the elimination of Andrew Prasana in episode 3 to the merge, all contestants voted out of the game were sent to "Utopia", where following the merge, they would compete to return to the game.  In another twist, a joker, Maureen Cruz, entered the game in episode 5 to replace the mole Gerard "Anders" Hansen, who had been ejected from the game in episode 4 as the end of the first part of the mole twist.  Another twist that took place in episode 5 was that the tribes were shuffled and given new names (Mensirip and Tenga).  Another twist that took place in episode 5 was that of the replacement mole.  The producers asked each contestant if they wanted to be the new mole and out of those who said yes the producers chose to make Ditte Jensen the new mole.  As part of this new twist, only Ditte was allowed to vote at the next tribal council.  Prior to the merge in episode 7, the remaining twelve contestants took part in a challenge to determine who would make the merge.  Ultimately, Kim Duelund and Mira Thomsen lost the challenge and were eliminated.  In episode 8, Ditte, like the first mole Anders, was ejected from the game.  In episode 9, instead of a tribal council, five of the contestants took place in an elimination challenge.  Jan Andersem lost the challenge and was eliminated from the game.  In episode 10, Rasmus had to be evacuated from the game after collapsing from exhaustion.  Shortly after Jan's evacuation, the remaining contestants took part in an elimination challenge.  Sandra Adelheid lost the challenge and was eliminated from the game.  In episode 11, the contestants competed in another elimination challenge.  Villy Eenberg lost the challenge and was sent to utopia.  Eileen Pehrsson, who was voted out in the same episode, also was sent to utopia.  In the final episode of the season, the remaining contestants in utopia took part in a final duel which Villy won.  The final five then competed in a series of challenges which ultimately led to the elimination of Andrew and Søren Petersen.  Ultimately, it was Villy Eenberg, who had been eliminated twice throughout the competition, who won the season over Maureen Cruz and Nicolai Karlson by winning the final challenge. For the Summer Olympics, there are 32 venues that have been or will be used for sailing.  Most competitions took place for the early part of the Olympics at or near venues, but no specific yacht or sailing club was listed in the official Olympic report.  In 1920, the twelve-foot dinghy event set for Ostend was moved to the Netherlands at special request of the Belgian Olympic Committee.  The first specific yacht or sailing club to host the competitions took place in 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City though those competitions took place actually in Acapulco.  Eight years later in Montreal, the competitions took place on the Great Lakes in Kingston, Ontario, marking the first and only time the sailing competitions took place in freshwater. The Hassan II Trophy (official name: "Coupe internationale Hassan II de football"), was a friendly football tournament organised by the Royal Moroccan Football Federation that was played in Casablanca.  Four editions took place, in 1996, 1998 and 2000 and 2008.  The Moroccan national team competed in each of the four tournaments, along with three invited national teams. For the Summer and Winter Olympics, there are 27 venues that have been or will be used for figure skating.  This is one of two sports in the Winter Olympics to debut in the Summer Olympics with ice hockey being the other.  The first venue for the event took place during the 1908 Games was held indoors.  Twelve years later, the venue joined ice hockey as another Winter Olympic sport in the Summer Olympics.  For the first two Winter Olympics, figure skating was held outdoors.  With figure skating being held outdoors, there were weather concerns with thawing for the first two Winter Games.  A suggestion by International Olympic Committee President Count Henri de Baillet-Latour to 1932 Olympic Organizing Committee President Godfrey Dewey in September 1930 led Dewey to create the first indoor arena for the Winter Olympics.  For the 1936 Games, the venue was covered partially.  Following World War II, the 1948 venue became the first venue to be used twice at the Winter Olympics since it had been used twenty years earlier.  Figure skating's final competition that took place outdoors was in 1956 though that venue has since had a roof added to it.  Since 1960, all figure skating competitions have taken place indoors.  Three National Hockey League (NHL) venues have hosted Olympic figure skating competitions: the 1988 (both venues) and the 2010 though the NHL Vancouver Canucks moved out of the 2010 venue following the 1994–95 season.  The 2002 venue was a National Basketball Association (NBA) venue which meant the Utah Jazz was on a road trip during the 2002 Games. For the Summer Olympics, there are 53 venues that have or will be used for equestrian.  From 1912 to 1992, the events took place in more than one venue.  Since the 1992 Summer Olympics, the equestrian events have taken place on a single venue in an effort to reduce costs.  During the 1964 to the 1980 Summer Olympics, an equestrian event was the final event before the closing ceremonies of the respective Olympics.  The last equestrian event that took place at the main stadium was at the 1988 Summer Olympics though it was not the final event before the closing ceremonies.  That honor would fall for the end of the men's marathon event.  Stockholm Olympic Stadium is the only equestrian venue to serve host for more than one Summer Olympics, doing so in 1912 and 1956. The 1984 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXIII Olympiad, was an international multi-sport event held in Los Angeles, California, United States in 1984.  When Tehran, the only other interested city on the international level, declined to bid due to the concurrent Iranian political and social changes, the IOC awarded Los Angeles the Games by default.  This was the second occasion Los Angeles hosted the games, the first being in 1932. Hassan Al-Absi (born 1966) is a Saudi Arabian former cyclist.  He competed in the individual road race and team time trial events at the 1984 Summer Olympics.
