Focus on legacy and sustainability

Athens Olympics was successful – for Sweden. Greece became the Olympic Games expensive. Very expensive. Many venues and facilities standing empty years after the Games, unused and in worse shape than ever.

It was a waste of money, all

of it would look good. It cost a lot, said Dimitris Mardas, Greece’s Secretary General for trade in 2004 to Reuters then.

Now, the IOC also be about to change. Candidate Cities have now been encouraged to focus on the heritage and sustainability through the use of existing facilities and to build venues where long-term needs are.
