- Effects of hosting the (2012) Olympic Games: Drawbacks.
- Pressure on construction companies to be finished on time.
- Some facilities may become obsolete.
- Jobs are only available for a short period of time.
- Benefite of Olympics are only in industrial areas. i.e. rural areas don't reap any benefits.
- E.g. Oakham, no substantial improvements to the surrounding area made, just the areas directly around Loughborough.
- Organisations underpressure
- Too much emphasis on elite performers than mass participation.
- Increased costs to local housing.
- Pollution and overcrowding
- Transport disrupted due to increased congestion.
- Only Olympic sports get publicity.
- Increase in crime
- Terrorist threats
- increased cost of security to prevent this.
- If things go wrong, poor publicity for the UK.
- Terrorist threats
- Drugs scandals.
- Sport reputation suffers.
- Higher local council taxes.
- Country could go into debt - cant afford the facilities.
- especially if a country is in an economic crisis.
- People could lose homes to new buildings/facilities.
