The beginning of the video tells us about the advantages of hosting the Olympics . . And suddenly when it comes to India hosting . . It is disadvantageous??? Every country has socioeconomic challenges . . Including the USA . . Hosting the Olympics will definitely put India on the global stage . . Just the way the 1936 Olympics did for Germany as mentioned in the video . . And I have been watching Think school vlog, the content and the approach has changed a little post the election results . . 🤔🤔🤔🤔

People are also arguing on television and media that this time it was the best supported Indian Olympic squad.. but reality is somewhat different, the failure theory is similar to that of Indian football team... spending money on a few old time international athletes.. but none on sports infrastructure, training, coaches, nurturing young talent in grassroot level - village level, bringing up sports culture etc.

I think it’s better to spend the same money in developing sports infrastructure throughout India especially in tier 2 cities.India have a serious lacunae in sports infrastructure except for cricket.This will help build a sports ecosystem in our country.Spending 10’s of billions of dollars in one area won’t help India.Mostly it might become useless like seeing in cases like Rio and Beijing.Also there might be a short term influx of tourists but long term benefits are doubtful.Lets get atleast 10 gold in a single olympics and then host the games.

The way they have performed in this Olympics, specially the badminton players was truly disappointing. I completely agree with the statement given by Prakash Padukone sir.....Lakshya jeeta hua matches haara , full of carelessness , 7-8 points lead mein rehte hue , aur match ko apni control mein rakhne ke bawajood bhi, kaise hara that's unbelievable , woh bhi back to back 2 matches mein... Cricket mein aisa hota toh match fixing, choker etc tag lag jaata.....But surprisingly , some players like Ashwini ponappa and Saina Nehwal are also complaining over something in this regard and trending in social media.... Cricket aur Bumrah ko beech mein laa rahe hai , this is totally unacceptable......Desh mein log cricket se jyada Badminton khelte hai , almost every city, town , village mein badminton courts ka hona common si baat hai, bade bade cities mein Badminton academies bhi hai ......So , Jaise cricketers aksar gaali sunte hai for poor performances, Badminton players ko bhi sun na hi padegaa....Baat agar paison ki hai , then Near about 500 crores has been spent on this contingent...... 4th position is unacceptable,ya toh 1-2-3 Bano ya out ho jaao.... 7-8 players ended up at 4th spot surprisingly ,....which shows how they had choked irresponsibly at crucial stages....

What you didn't say is that despite the investment of about $40 billion during the 2008 Olympic Games in China, Beijing's GDP grew at an average annual rate of 11.8% during the 2005-2008 "Olympic Input Period", with the Olympic factor contributing to an increase of 105.5 billion yuan in Beijing's GDP. In 2008, China's international tourism revenue amounted to US$40.1 billion, and after the 2022 Beijing Winter Olympics, the market size of China's ice and snow industry has exceeded RMB 600 billion. By the end of 2022, the number of people participating in ice and snow sports nationwide reached 300 million.

I think it will be an economic disaster. That is the reason why no country is willing to host these days. The amount of money to build that kind of infrastructure is very high. but the return on investment is very very low. And we know if this happens how the politicians are going to become rich. we need to use that money in our railway upgrade.

[@patel.k0]

No it will be a serious blunder if we do that. 1st . We dont have the money to upgrade our railways, every month people are dying because of railway accidents. 2nd. We dont have enough money for our Research and development budget. 3rd. Our defense public companies are not doing well because of lack of funds. 4th. We don't have money for soldiers so we are telling them to "get out" after 4 years. 5th. we have people who have water and electricity and clean air issues But we have money for a 1 month gaming drama. isn't that shameful. We will host it once we become a developed country. If Ambani family wants to do it with their money then OK. But not on tax payer money. The middle class is suffering because of all kinds of taxes(school fees, food fees and many more) but some people want to destroy 20 billion dollars for drama.

Not everything needs to be viewed through the lens of capitalism.

This unity and shared experience contribute to the growth of mutual respect and understanding on a global scale, which is invaluable in today's world.

I still believe sportswashing is needed for a country like India as it is highly misunderstood around the world. Even our movie industry portrayed it in a bad light. It's just that recently things have changed. But after a decade I still believe we would have enough money to host an Olympics and better sportsmen. And for the economics part of it, we have to consider that since we are hosting the Olympics there will be more eyeballs and Broadcasting rights will be a huge amount. If an annual event like IPL can get you a billion dollars, the olympics can also get that. We can also expect a lot of pvt investments in the game city. So, the Govt will not have to bear all the costs. In short I believe it will be a beneficial for India. I won't say economically beneficial but an overall net benefit.

[@RishabAnandRoy]

Hosting Olympics in India will be very beneficial for India as the infrastructure that will be build will be utilised even after the games and the most dramatic change it will make is that it will change the though process and will motivate and inspire future Olympians. Also the economic of Olympics in different countries are different and it will be profitable hosting Olympics in India, just like Cricket in India.
