I think Salt Lake City was incredibly smart in how they handled the construction of the Olympic Village. The University of Utah needed new student housing, so they built the Olympic Village in such a way that all they had to do once the athletes moved out was to take down all the signs indicating it was the Olympic Village and viola, new student housing.

You forgot to mention how Japanese people here hate the idea of Olympics now. Right in the middle of pandemic. Japan has been very slow in vaccine rollout and the number of new cases is escalating rather quickly. People in Tokyo have been under a state of emergency for the past 3 month (now will be 4 with the Olympics period) with limited freedom of movement but the city is apparently ready to host the largest event in the world.

The Olympics only occurs in one city historically cos they were tied to worlds fairs which no longer happen. I think they could definitely keep each games having an individual identity while reducing the cost by spreading future games over whole countries like world cups do. Imagine for a country like the UK you could build one venue and one far smaller village (2000 people instead of 1600 for example) in each of London, Bristol, Cardiff, Birmingham, Glasgow, Edinburgh, Manchester and Leeds. Then each city could afford the cost and find far more uses for their venue or housing complexes after the games rather than be stuck with so many white elephants

I agree. There are some sports that are very tricky to hold a good event. Rowing is such a sport. You need a 2km long piece of water, that is ideally protected from wind. Olympic rowing boats are not built for wavy conditions. So the olympic rowing course in rio was a desaster. There are many artificial created basins for rowing events. Would be much nicer to use them instead. I guess the same goes for sailing, surfing, wild water canoing etc. They all need certain conditions and are held outside the olympic villages anyway, i guess. But than it would be more about the sport and the athletes and not so much about media and money. Who would want such a thing?

Japan is so unfortunate, because big sport event like Olympic, world cup and Asian Games could attract tourists.

Great video! Small correction: Broadcaster like BBC, NBC,... actually do send camera crews out to film the events as well. Be it to get another additional angle (and doing interviews directly afterwards in the Mixed Zone) or to have better coverage of certain athletes. Sometimes in case there are two disciplines happening at the same time in the same venue, the world feed will only include one and the camera crew will be responsible to cover the other discipline.

from a purely financial basis, it makes most sense for a handful of larger, experienced cities like Beijing to rotate the olympics between them, instead of asking new cities to spend billions building new facilities each time

There is a dining hall. Search KZread for "Olympic dining hall" and you will see from the athletes' vlogs tours of the dining hall and that there are food choices other than McDonald's.

Little-Known Trivia: Many Olympic athletes eat fast food like McDonald's as part of their training diets. Sometimes they eat quite a lot of it! Many athletes will tell you that getting enough calories each day is one of the most onerous parts of their never-ending daily training regimen. Aside from a high salt content, fast food is pretty healthy if you're actually going to need the calories.

Plus 13 more days for the Paralympics.

They should designate 5 locations around the world to host the olympics, not the way that it is currently done, its not only bad for the environment, but can cause gentrification as well. It is much easier to update and modernise excisting structures in the same location from a past olympic event than to build new ones in a new city that hosted the games for the last time 60 years ago.

Great research man

While London had a new aquatics centre built, it is worth noting that it was specifically designed to be modified after the games, to reduce its capacity. During the Games the venue had a capacity of 17,500. The two temporary "wings" have been removed, reducing the capacity to a regular 2,800 with an additional 1,000 seats available for major events.[5] Of all the swimming venues built for the 2012 Summer Olympics, the Aquatics Centre is the only one that will remain afterwards, albeit in a downsized form

With the situation we are in now, more and more ciry will be cautious for participating in the Olympic. For future games, just re use the already existing venue.

I watch a lot of NHK (Japan's national broadcasting service) and it's nearly indescribable how much effort the Japanese put in around the Olympics. Translating and training personnel in English wasn't even the start of it. E.g. on international maps they changed the shrine symbol, as it was a Swastika and could be misinterpreted. There were thousands of these changes and for a very traditionalist country it wasn't easy but it had to be accepted because it was for the international tourists. Now the Japanese themselves cannot enjoy their own games. I think it's just tragic.
