Introduction
Mega sporting events are characterized as those one-off games globally coordinated by a single
"authority" and which emit very high levels of media inclusion and influence (finance, business
travel, framework, and so on) to the host network. as a consequence of the centrality of the event
and the additional dimension. The actual event is often accompanied by similar exercises, for
example celebrations and social occasions.
Hosting large sporting events requires countries to undertake mega projects and events, resulting
in direct economic impact (Zimbalist, 2020). This encourages an expansion of mobility and
activities in the design, construction and development sector characterized by underlying
expenses, together with the expansion of industry and consumption in the sector of the emerging
travel industry following the inclusion of inland holidays (but this could sometimes spread to the
travel industry due to block chain costs), just like an increase in consumer spending at the event.
Hosting the event provides several “intangible benefits” for example the event that demonstrates
the ability to take complex actions for the countries that allow these big times, as well as the
opportunity to promote production in addition to the" name of the image A major brand could
then lead to unfamiliar profitability and expand global trade and the travel industry.
Possible issues:
This report discusses the general issues regarding the impact of health, social and environment
on the event of Olympics. Report discussed about both negative and positive effects of these
three factors on Mega sports events.
Aims of report:
The main aim of the study is to finding the way to maximizing the benefits and minimizing the
challenges of hosting Olympic Games.

Analysis Subsection 1
Health Impacts
Impact on housing
Positive impacts
An Olympic Village is an accommodation center built for the Olympic Games, usually in an
Olympic Park or elsewhere in a host city. Olympic cities are designed to house all interested
competitors, just like athletic authorities and advisors. After the murder of Munich at the 1972
Olympics, the villages were made very safe. Only competitors, coaches and authorities may
reside in the city, but relatives and former Olympic competitors are allowed with legitimate
control (Levy and Berger, 2013).
Thus, the positive impacts include conversion of Athletes village into 2,800 homes for homeless
people. As without organizing such mega event; it was not possible to make 2,800 homes. This
mega event organized in every 4 years and once city hosts this event then it will take decades to
get it turn back. This makes Athletes village unoccupied and it can be used for other purposes.
Negative impact
The negative impact includes destruction of existing housing to build stadium and other
necessary infrastructures. As all properties are under government supervision, they have the
power to use any property without the concern of owner. Hence, many people lost their houses
due to this event. They get compensation equivalent to their property value but this
compensation can’t fulfill their emotional attachment with their house.
Impact on Psychic
Positive
Physical activity can occur immediately (rest / work / transport) or be coordinated and separated
according to purpose: physical exercise is identified as essential for the development of real well-
being and boundaries. True preparation is fundamentally focused on expanding the person's true
limits and executing them. Young people are more active than adults, but their activity levels
decline as they progress towards instability and the critical masses of young people are not
interested in activities recommended for physical activity (Herstein and Berger, 2013).
