Should Hungary organise the 2024 Olympics?

Posted at — Jan 26, 2017

In the last round of winning the right to organize the 2024 Olympics are Paris, Los Angeles and Budapest. As a Hungarian, I have some doubt about the long-term effect of these kind of event, and a local community is trying to make a referendum about it.

Looking back to the cities (Rio, Athens) where Olympics had held, its easy to see dilapidated monuments and empty buildings. I suppose we’re going to a direction where only the athletes and The International Olympic Committee can take advantage of the whole competition.
