The value of investing in the Olympics

Abstract

This paper will involve an investigation into the pros and cons of investing in the Olympics, whether it is investing in sporting infrastructure, funding or even hosting the Olympics. Data is compiled to analyse the value of investment in the Olympics and the findings section will provide background for how countries have invested into the Olympics. In the conclusion, reasoning and advice will be given for how a country should invest into the Olympics to gain more success, especially when the budget is not that of a rich country. Not only will the benefits be examined but also the disadvantages of each type of investment.
