Some country have joined the race to host big sporting events. What r the advantages n disadvantages Many countries in these days are chasing the opportunity to stage the sporting games. In my view, this trend can cause various problems. Hosting sporting events can attract investment and create jobs which is beneficial to economical development. For example, the Olympic games is an advertisement for the host nation, because people all over the world can know more about the host country by watching the sports event. And the Olympic games will also attract numbers of visitors and sports fans to visit the country, so it will boost the country's tourism. On the other hand, staging the game can also bolster the image of the country.The athletes who win medals can bring a stronger pride to their country and this can help build a strong sense of unity. But some people argue that hosting a big sports event is not a wise investment. The host country have to make preparations like building games facilities, constructing a massive athlete's village and various of indoor and outdoor sports arenas. And some people think that these facilities will be white elephants because once the events ends, these will be left unused. So hosting a big event will waste valuable resources. In my point of view, a country which is competing for opportunities to host sporting events should evaluate its economic situation and see if they can afford a big event.
