The problem with giving it a permanent home is that it becomes less of an international event. It's nice to see different countries each time expressing their culture in the opening ceremony etc, and helps share around the home advantage. A different solution might be to scale it down somewhat, so it doesn't need the insane levels of investment that it currently does which are virtually impossible to recover.

Exactly what does holding an athletic event have to do with spending a lot of money ? The ONLY Reason why the Olympics cost so much is because Greedy Capitalists wring every miserable penny out of them that they can. That's why. The real questions are why does anyone expect the host city to put on a fancy facade and why are the Olympic Games the gratuitously spectacular events that they have become. It sounds to me like Big Business is saying that if we can't reap ever greater profits from the Olympics then let's scrap them altogether. Perhaps a more rational solution would be to severely downscale the presentation of the Olympics as well as downsizing the public's expectations of what they will get.

The London Olympics were a massive success! The entire area of the Olympic village was once a derelict industrial wasteland, now thanks to the regeneration brought on by the games it is a bustling hub with green spaces, various commercial areas and attractive residential buildings. London also made a lot of use of existing venues, structures and infrastructure which continued as normal after the games finished. Furthermore, the new venues that were build all remain in good condition and in use today. The stadium was been converted Into a multi use arena and is occupied by West Ham United football team. The velodrome and aquatics centre are open to public use and often host local sports events, and the copper box (basketball arena) is used for various events including high profile boxing matches. An excellent modern example of how to host an Olympics for the games and regenerate areas for the future.

If they are unable to provide a plan for maintanence for the next several years, I don't think they should be allowed to host.

The temperatures in Tokyo during the summer are excessively hot where in Sapporo they are very mild. Second, security around Tokyo is a nightmare, especially for a large event in an unconfined area. Sapporo it is easier to watch the people coming and going. Also how many people would travel to Sapporo for just one event? Only the locals would probably show up. Tokyo was (pre-Covid) also worried about adding millions of tourists to its already overburdened transportation system. If they could have spread events to like half in Tokyo and half in Osaka it would have been very helpful.

Your shuttles can be super nice, but won't work if the next district still uses decaying rusty mid-20C bus systems Carefully evaluate your candidates.

Why not have them in Greece, the birthplace of the Olympics, every time? All the countries competing could donate funds to build and maintain the various venues. One or more countries could be chosen each time to be the "Sponsor" or to be recognized in some way as the host. This would stop the insane practice of having the host being responsible for erecting and maintaining new facilities, which usually ends up with that country going into insurmountable debt, with the facilities falling into ruins after the Games are over. If Greece doesn't want to do this, then perhaps build 4 or 5 venues and rotate the Olympics between them, but have all the participating countries pay the costs of building and maintaining the facilities. Cutting down on the number of sports would certainily help too. As more "sports" are added the Olympics become a bloated monster.

I don’t think there should ever be a permanent host, however it would be easy for cities like London, LA, Sydney, Tokyo, Beijing (& possibly Barcelona and Athens if the infrastructure is slightly updated) to host in the near future as the basis for the olympics is still there with many of the stadiums being updated regularly.

Perhaps the best course of action would be to have multiple permanent hosts in cities with already existing facilities or those with plans for how they would use the newly built facilities for the future after the Games. The Games could just be held in each of those cities on rotation and the cities that aren't preparing for the Games would convert the facilities for public use.

It was the Olympics that helped bankrupt Greece.

Imagine how Japan felt having no spectators or normal revenue from people coming to watch. Ouch.

One of the issues is that cities and countries try to spend billions of infrastructure that in many cases isn't needed. The Olympics would be a lot more special without the grand buildings. It would be much more magical to utilize the current infrastructure. For example, using LA memorial stadium instead of creating a giant billion dollar "Olympic Stadium". The simpler, the more memorable.

They could have kept the stadium if they were trying to keep to a strict budget. They just took the opportunity to replace it. Which is fine... all central Tokyo venues have no problem being well-used considering Japanese love for sports and music. Perhaps more importantly... they "kicked" the Americans out of the western Yamanote region to use as the Olympic Village. And then built Yoyogi Park on top of it after the games finished. So they have to make a new Olympics Village over near the harbor district. So what would have happened if they had maintained the space? It's the large green space between Harajuku and Shibuya... It's hard to say if things (in a pop culture sense) would have developed the way it has without that park being there preventing heavy development on top of Harajuku. The point is...Japan traded military housing for a park- trying to maintain some of the less important infrastructure would have been a detriment moving forward.

I personally think there should be a permanent summer game city and winter game city. Seems best economically, environmentally, and the most efficient.

Olympics are an amazing opportunity for athletes around the world and NYXS is actively working on preparing individuals to give their best

Just depends on the city/country. London olympics was the best thing to happen to the city; total regeneration of east London - less crime, better living standards, better local economy.

The British Government were very smart in the way they played out with the 2012 London olympics as most if not all the resources are due to be reused as other projects.

Permanent one is not a good idea. What is stopping LA to be a dump like Detroit in say 50 years? Lagos or Mumbai may be a dump now, but in the next 50 years they may be Top cities. If some one would have said thaf Beijing would be a world class city in the 1980s, they would have been laughed at.

All consistent competing countries/IOC/UN find an island and build the Olympic city for the summer and some ice place for the winter games. Each countries contributes x amount of money for construction and such. Build a functioning city around the area for people who want to live there, and in between Olympics, it’s used as a tourist destination with hall of fames and world records and other attractions, which allows a constant flow of revenue. In theory it sounds great but it would definitely be hard to even find the island

Maybe one permanent city per continent? So it could keep rotating.

It's like those industrialized countries and with stable government and economy. Let's say 3 continents that can regularly host the events. Like in Asia (Japan, China, Korea) North America (USA, Canada) Europe (Many European countries can host the Olympics) I think this is one of the best solutions. A cycle of host every 4 years. Like next Olympic will be in Asia (Japan 2020), then the next will be in Europe 2024, then next will be in North America 2028. Then the cycle continues, Asia again.... and so on. Instead of doing that in those developing poor countries that later on will struggle economically with a massive debt.

As I watch this video, Brisbane was awarded hosting rights for 2032 and was the lone city to bid for it.

Greece would make money from having it though: They wouldn't need to build new stuff every year (or at least not a lot), and they'd have a massively popular event there every four years.

I live in Vancouver. There are very few Olympic legacy monuments left from 2010. Most of the infrastructure is still in use. But the biggest positive that came out of the game is the short and long term employment the games bought. Many people still use their employment experience on their resume

I don't think the Olympics is dead I enjoyed this years games simply because I was stuck at home. It was great watching but when I see what happened to Brazil after them I was shocked.
