The causes of Olympic stadium cost overruns from 2000 to 2020
The Olympic Games have frequently witnessed cost overruns. Olympic stadiums have drawn significant media attention due to their escalating costs, but lack of systematic documentation. This study aims to identify the causes of cost overruns in Olympic stadium construction over the period 2000–2020 through a qualitative document analysis. These overruns often stem from internal organizational errors. Therefore, we recommend conducting meticulous an…

The autonomy of sport concept
The autonomy of sport concept can be considered a fundamental principle within international sport governance. In essence, the principle signifies the right to self-regulation and reflects the ability of sport governing bodies (SGBs) to determine their own structures and rules, free from interference by external actors. Despite growing academic and practitioner interest, there is still no consensus as to what the term “autonomy” exactly means and…
Key factors influencing long-term engagement
This study enhances the understanding of the characteristics and motivations of volunteers engaged in the Special Olympics context, and identifies specific factors that facilitate long-term engagement. Furthermore, the findings offer invaluable insights that have informed the development of recruitment strategies aimed at fostering a volunteer legacy in both the sports and non-sports sectors
Cost and Revenue Overruns of the Olympic Games 2000–2018
In this open access book the cost and revenue overruns of Olympic Games from Sydney 2000 to PyeongChang 2018 from eight years before the Games to Games‐time are investigated to provide a base for future host cities. The authors evaluated the development of expenditure and revenues of the organizing committees to operate the event, and the investment of taxpayers’ money for Olympic venues (non‐OCOG budget). The study is based on data collected wor…
Mapping research on legacy of mega sporting events
Findings from empirical studies on the legacy of hosting a mega sporting event are inconclusive. This paper considers empirical studies published in English language peer-reviewed journals between 1997 and 2016 to identify trends and gaps in current knowledge related to event-attributed changes in structures, consequences, and stakeholder evaluations. Following systematic literature search guidelines, 233 articles (238 studies) were coded. The au…

Direct regional economic impact of Germany’s 1. FC Kaiserslautern through participation in the 1. Bundesliga
In discussions about the use of public money for popular sports such as clubs in Germany’s 1. Bundesliga, it is often argued that the funds are well invested due to the cash flows generated by these organizations for their home regions. However, others claim the opposite. They argue that actually no positive impact is generated and, even worse, that money is leaving the region due to the clubs. The study presented here analyses the financial flow…
A framework for identifying the legacies of a mega sport event
A mega sport event involves huge investments in city infrastructure. After the event, the structures that remain may be an asset to the stakeholders, or they may be a burden. Faced with high costs, the taxpayer demands that the event-related social, economic and ecological changes will in the end have improved living conditions for the host city. But it is not easy to identify sport event legacies in their entirety, because event-related changes …

Erlebniswert Olympischer Winterspiele in München 2018/ Experiential Value of Hosting the 2018 Winter Olympics in Munich
Ziel dieses Beitrags ist es, mittels der Contingent Valuation Methode (CVM) den Erlebniswert der Ausrichtung der Olympischen Winterspiele in München 2018 sowie den Stolz, diese Veranstaltung in Deutschland zu wissen, für die deutsche Bevölkerung monetär zu quantifizieren. Die Stichprobe zur Erfassung der sog. Zahlungsbereitschaft umfasst 1.011 Personen. Diese wurden mit Fragebögen dazu befragt, was sie dafür zu zahlen bereit wären, dass die Winte…
Ökonomie des Tourismus durch Sportgroßveranstaltungen
Sportgroà events ziehen Besuchermassen aus dem In- und Ausland an und stellen zunehmend ein Instrument der Standortpolitik der jeweiligen Austragungsorte dar. Damit können durch gesellschaftliche Mobilisierung, Werbe- und Imageeffekte sowie nicht zuletzt wirtschaftliche Wirkungen attraktive sozioökonomische Impulse in den Ausrichtungsregionen gesetzt werden. Die Fuà ball-Weltmeisterschaft 2006 war ein Meilenstein und eine einmalige Chance sowohl …
Maximizing Olympic Impacts by Building Up Legacies
This contribution adds to the controversial discussion of the investment of scarce public resources in mega sport events such as the Olympic Games. The positive, or negative, legacy of mega sport events will be considered. A definition of legacy will be given, how legacy might be measured is discussed and the key elements that make up a legacy are identified. Examples are taken from recent Olympic Games and other mega sports events such as the Ma…
The Conceptualisation and Measurement of Mega Sport Event Legacies
This paper focuses on the legacy of mega sport events. First, the concept of legacy is defined before the problems of measuring and forecasting legacy are discussed. Benchmarking and the use of macro data do not correctly reveal legacy. Hence a bottom-up approach is introduced which identifies the event legacy by evaluation of ‘soft’ and ‘hard’ event-related changes in a host city. These changes are defined as ‘event-structures’ (infrastructure, …
