I\u2019ve always enjoyed the two-week period when the games are in full swing, and like millions of other Indians, I&#8217;ll be keeping a close eye on our medals tally.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This year Paris is hosting the Olympics after exactly 100 years of hosting it the last time in 1924. While they lost the bids to host the Olympics in 2008 and 2012, they were determined not to lose this one.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Getting an opportunity to host the Olympics is <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/xsqg-zgph.maillist-manage.net\/click\/16dac2885cf8c8a4\/16dac2885cf8bb92\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">not an easy task<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. It involves multiple rounds of bidding with the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to demonstrate your city&#8217;s worthiness to host the Olympics.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>But why do countries want to host the Olympics and is it really worth it?<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The primary reasons for hosting such an extravagant event are the <\/span><b>\u2018pride\u2019<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> and <\/span><b>\u2018prestige\u2019<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> that come with it. A country that reaches this level is recognized as having achieved a significant status in the global order and gains a positive brand image.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Another reason is the opportunity to <\/span><b>&#8220;get the house in order&#8221;<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2014an incentive to improve infrastructure, cleanliness, and overall organisation. It&#8217;s similar to why one might invite guests over to motivate keeping their home in top shape.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">But the biggest justification that is given to host the Olympics is the large economic benefit that will accrue to that country. According to the Olympics official website:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">London 2022 Olympics created 1.1 lakh jobs between 2010 to 2017<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Rio 2016 Olympics awarded contracts to 2,200 SME businesses and created 18,000 jobs<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Tourism in Brazil in 2016 generated $6.2 Bn, a 6.2% y-o-y increase<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Paris is estimated to create 1.81 Lakh new jobs and would generate an economic gain of $7.2-11.9 Bn.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h3><b>But all these at what cost?
