Various problems have arisen over the Tokyo Olympic Games to be held in 2020, but every time the Olympic Games are held in cities around the world, there are many problems concerning infrastructure, stadium, holding fee, etc. . It is said that "cities that hosted the Olympic Games are internationally renowned", but in reality, only one city has made profit in the past Olympic Games. Therefore, there is a proposal "Do not change the host city of the Olympic Games every time, but create" Olympic · City "".

Olympic games are a great excitement event and it is a great opportunity to organize infrastructure, build a stadium, set aside at least 10,000 athletes and places to accommodate spectators of thousands to tens of thousands, It is also such an event. According to a survey, 20 million people were forced to evacuate to hold the past 20 Olympic games, and in the Korea Seoul Olympic Games held in 1988 the area where the poor live is a stadium construction It was wiped out for at least 750 thousand people who were evacuated. Likewise, it is said that 30,000 people at the Atlanta Olympics in 1996 and 1.25 million people lost their homes at the 2008 Beijing Olympics.

It is said that the holding cost is tremendous, it is said that the London Olympics in 2012 got $ 40 billion (about 3.1 trillion yen at that rate), and the Olympic cost of Rio de Janeiro, which is scheduled to be held in 2016 Was originally 2.3 billion dollars (about 274 billion yen), but now it has expanded to 15 billion dollars (about 1.7 trillion yen).

Supporters of the Olympic Games claim that "the place where the Olympic Games hosted will be recognized worldwide", but so far only the Olympic Games in Los Angeles actually gained profits.The Los Angeles Olympics in 1984We used existing facilities as much as possible, used university dormitories as athletes villages, thoroughly utilize volunteer activities, and the international Olympic Committee conducted commercialization twice so as not to be selected as a venue twice.

The Olympic game itself is in the form of games, and despite the fact that many countries can not participate as hosts due to expensive participation fees, large cities are required to cost a great deal and they can run unnecessary art projects , It is only the International Olympic Committee that it will benefit.

Even though the idea of ​​canceling the Olympic Games is overkill, it should be time to make some new model soon. And public policy researchersJohn Rennie ShortThe proposal by Mr. Ms. is "to hold the Olympic Games in the same place and facility every year".

Mr. Short suggests to designate islands, etc. where there are few residents as "Olympic City", to create stadiums and athletes villages. Tens of thousands of people will not have to lose their homes or create confusion if they choose a place without residents, and every four years they will not spend unnecessary costs on each city in the world. Furthermore, if you open the facility to the athletes in the less prosperous region of the world when you are not hosting the Olympics, there are benefits for many sportsmen and sportswomen too. In addition, building a convention center can be a hub for art and culture, not just sports.

"The International Olympic Committee, which is going to make great gains in hosting the Olympic Games, should be able to generate initial costs for the construction of new facilities," said Mr. Short, "furthermore, Greece, who has a lot of debts, will be present at the International Olympic Committee If we sell the land we can develop a theory that not only can a place of permanent Olympics be secured but also economic crisis can be saved ". Greece has already begun selling islands for fiscal rebuilding, but if it sells to the International Olympic Committee, not only will there be income, but also employment can be created for construction work. Also, the Olympic Games to be held in cities around the world will create unnecessary facilities and infrastructure, but in the case of the permanent Olympic facilities assumed above, useless facilities and infrastructure not used will not be born.

Furthermore, the origin of "Olympics" is the city of ancient Greece ·OlympiaBecause it is because it is around, we will go around and return the Olympic Games to Greece, Short says that there is no more place for historical reasons.
