Major Event and Festival Impacts Seminar 10: Mega Sporting Events
The Olympic Charter “a philosophy exalting and combining in a balanced whole the qualities of the body, will and mind which by blending sport with culture and education seeks to create a way of life based on the joy found in effort, the educational value of good example and respect for universal fundamental ethical principals” • Critically discuss the extent to which you think the notion of Olympianism is still reflected in the modern Olympic Games using examples to highlight your arguments
The Right to Host? • We increasingly witness developing and emerging nations bidding for the right to host mega sporting events critically discuss the opportunity cost of such bids and the hosting of these events • What factors do you think governing bodies should take into account when deciding who to award the right to host the event? • Finally, think about the power held by sanctioning bodies such as the IOC, what impact do you think this has on hosts, the event and sport more widely?
