Abstract: The impact of the Olympics has long been under question as cities have been left in an inescapable detriment to their economy and environment while others experienced an overall profit. Therefore, it is important to analyze how some cities were so successful in hosting the Olympics while others were left with a giant bill that still holds an impact on them today. To maximize the true effects the Olympics can hold onto a city’s production of infrastructure while minimizing the debt they are left with, it is important to reflect on cities that have hosted the Olympics in the past. The objective of this paper is to analyze factors such as infrastructure, environment, economy, etc. to conclude the true overall impact an Olympic Series could cause on a host city. The findings of this paper are intended to help perceive the true effective procedures to profit the most from hosting the Olympic Games, while also being a catalyst to what could be altered in the process to make the process as cost-efficient and effective as possible.
