This Tokyo Olympic Games is a disaster. You don't have to charge anything, but you have to charge for the broken bed made of cardboard. You know, athletes have some special events, such as weightlifting, and their weight is already very large, which is almost the bearing limit of that cardboard bed, and some are even greater than the weighing limit. In this case, it is easy to crush that bed. Won't BOCOG be embarrassed by this charge?
1. The Tokyo Olympic Games suffered serious losses.
Affected by the COVID-19 epidemic, the Tokyo Olympic Games was delayed for one year, but the losses were still serious. Hosting the Olympic Games itself is a good opportunity for a city to boost its economy. However, under the influence of the COVID-19 epidemic, the revenue of the Tokyo Olympic Games obviously failed to keep up with the expenditure.
Olympic ticket sales are a lot of income, but the tickets for the Tokyo Olympic Games are almost impossible to sell, and only a few events have a little ticket sales income. This sharp drop in income alone is enough to make the Tokyo Olympic Games lose upside down.
Athletes, referees, staff and so on who take part in the Olympic Games need all kinds of expenses every day, and these expenses must be paid by the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee. Although hosting such an Olympic Games may lose money, it has never been so miserable as this one. It is impossible to make money in other ways, so we have to find a way to get some back from the athletes.
Second, losing money in the Olympic Games is beyond people's control, and it is meaningless for athletes to pay the bill.
Why so many countries and cities actively bid for the Olympic Games is because the Olympic Games can greatly boost the local economy and bring a very prosperous situation to the local economy. Although there have been many losses in previous Olympic Games, the impact of the Olympic Games is immeasurable, and the loss of the Olympic Games itself does not affect the income brought by subsequent tourism to increase urban income.
Losing money in the Tokyo Olympic Games is a natural disaster, and the Tokyo Olympic Organizing Committee is also riding a tiger. A complete closure means that all previous investments are in Shui Piao, and this reluctance to hold it can more or less recover some costs. However, the result is obvious, and people all over the world know that it is certain that this Olympic Games will lose money.
However, losing money cannot be recovered from athletes. The athlete didn't do anything wrong, why should he lose money?
Since we bid for the Olympic Games, we must consider all kinds of problems that we may encounter. The Olympic Games itself is not a profit-making activity. Whether you can make money depends entirely on the ability of the organizing Committee. This once-in-a-century situation, either cancel it directly, then knock out your teeth and swallow your blood. BOCOG's series of operations are too petty and shameful.
