Japan might be the biggest failure and loss of revenue, compared to what they’ve spent, in history for the Olympics.

I'm Australian and we just won the 2032 games. NO ONE ELSE BID and nobody is asking why? We have plenty of idiots celebrating and making it out to be a good thing. Some of those idiots a have even started the lies. The worst is the claim that 80% of the venues are already built. That's just idiotic garbage. I am currently in Brisbane. I have lived here previously and there is NO WAY they even 25% of the venues and those they do have will need major upgrades before 2032. If Japan is a massive financial failure it only joins the financial failures of others. As a kid I watched the 1976 Montreal games. To the best of my knowledge they have never recovered the costs. 1980 in Moscow was a success because they had cheap labor which also gave Seoul in 1988 an advantage. LA & Atlanta were held in cities with massive sports facilities and massive universities with huge dorms they could use for the athletes village. Barcelona already had a couple of major stadiums. London already had all those football stadiums and the rest of the facilities. Beijing like Seoul and Moscow just had all that cheap labor to build what ever they wanted. Brisbane has 2 main stadiums the Gabba (oval shaped) at 42,000 and Suncorp (rectangular) at 52,500. Neither of those are up to Olympic standard which needs to be around the 80,000 mark. Brisbane held the 1982 Commonwealth games and did a great job. Every since they felt that justified they could host the Olympics. Brisbanites TOTALLY ignore all the extra sports the Olympics have and all the extra athletes and support staff and the extra media. They are planning to spend $1Billion upgrading the Gabba from 42,000 to 50,000 and don't get that's a joke by Olympic Standards. PLUS there's the lesson of Sydney they have already forgotten. It still hasn't been paid for and will most likely NEVER recoup the money spent. Why did one else bid for 2032? *Because they were awake.*

I'm Australian but went to college in America on a sports scholarship so I know what sorts of facilities American cities like LA & Atlanta have. I went to U. Illinois and I know Chicago could hold the Olympics in a heartbeat. Chicago just has that many stadiums as well as several large universities with their dorms. That was LA's huge advantage.

I think host countries should invest in upgrading existing facilities. These sporting events cannot keep getting 'bigger and better'. I'm also very concerned about the rampant commercialism. For example, after watching millionaire tennis players performing at Wimbledon, people may not have too much appetite for watching the same players in the Olympics. Isn't it all a bit of a money-making sham?
@bobbygreen97663 жыл бұрын
The costs are getting out of control and the fact that they keep adding more sports events = more athletes which = more facilities to build and prepare, which = more personnel which ultimately = more costs. Shows that the IOC never think about the host nations when promoting these events

It’s FIFA that’s the criminal from building stadiums in the middle of a river in Brazil that was used like once to now having slaves die in 120 degree heat. The difference between the Olympics, which holds events in cities with infrastructure, versus FIFA, which holds events in host nations and builds shit in the middle of nowhere, is huge. Tokyo didn’t spend much at all and even with the loss leader costs, it still is profitable.

It’s changed a lot, Brisbane started it’s interest in hosting back in 2014 and all the mayors of south east Queensland which includes Brisbane the 3rd largest city and Australia and the Gold Coast the 6th largest city came together to host as a region. Due to rising costs and covid the Olympics changed and got rid of the need for expensive campaigns and instead engage in extensive talks and studies to find hosts. Brisbane was doing this approach before it was even implemented by the Olympics which is why it so easily became the first city to get the rights to host in this way. Right place right time. Brisbane will be the Olympics that changes everything in terms of what hosting means.
