Paris 2024, the French capital's successful bid to host the Games, promises to usher in a new era by blending history, beauty, and culture in alignment with the International Olympic Committee's vision for sustainability and youth appeal.

Paris 2024 is poised to be a transformative event, blending tradition with innovation and offering an unparalleled experience for athletes, spectators, and sponsors. https://lnkd.in/ezNJDiFm

🏅As Paris 2024 begins, a look at the legacy of Rio 2016 in Brazil When Rio de Janeiro was selected to host the 2016 Olympics, many frowned upon the prospect of the government pouring dozens of billions of dollars into building sporting venues that could rapidly turn into white elephants. The argument officials gave to convince Brazilians that hosting the Olympics (and the World Cup in 2014) was good business revolved around the legacy the event would leave behind. Eight years later, we ask: what was that legacy? A study by Oxford economists Alexander Budzier and Bent Flyvbjerg showed that the Rio Olympics cost USD 23.6 billion, trailing only the 2014 Sochi Winter Games as the most expensive in history. While the Olympics have never come in under budget, the costs for the Rio Games went over estimations like no other edition in history, by a whopping 352 percent. 🔗Read more in our full article by Alexia Massoud here 👇 https://lnkd.in/dSztA2uV #Olympics #PublicSpending #RioDeJaneiro
