That makes 99% of us..

ioc is so corrupt

LA and Paris: We have no such weakness

just raze existing living structures! - IOC, every time

@@dojokonojo it will be tough for Paris to do so

@@ikeekieeki lol true, it would be just more cost effective and even better to just have a permanent Olympic event in a dedicated city ever year.
It can even be on Olympus, the place where the Olympics originated

Yes please

Guy probably hires a guy who then in turn hires a couple Indian guys or girls with excellent English, who then proceed to write-up most info and then he records the voice over and adds jokes. Much the same for the editor I imagine.

That sounds like a better suited video for that guy over at Half As Interesting

@@wuzzabug Yeah, that guy is way better (I almost said 'way more interesting' but I couldn't figure out a way to work the joke)

And reveal all his secrets?

@@crinjal_mrp ya and they organized the only profitable Olympics to date.

@@crinjal_mrp IOC was likely afraid of the USA not even bothering to bid. New York lost out on 2012, Chicago got rejected in 2016, and no American city even bothered for 2020. The IOC didn't want to drive away it's biggest financial contributor by completely rejecting all of its largest, most capible cities

I just want to know what would happen if no city bid.

They half gave Paris 2024 because Paris hosted the 1924 Olympics and pretty much everyone figured it would be nice if they were able to host an Olympics 100 years later.

@@crinjal_mrp California being California, there was likely to be (and still probably is) massive backlash to the costs surrounding the Olympic games. LA is busy enough as-is and the traffic caused by the Olympic games would make it worse.

As someone who once made use of the area every month or so, I think it's a bit too liveable if you know what I mean.

So is the olympic park in East London

It is my understanding the Sydney Olympic cost was way beyond the esstamate, as is the usual case!

And, in a topical twist, the olympic park is currently being used to provide COVID vaccinations! I got my vaccination in the olympic park :D It's a fantastically-utilised space all told.

Glad to hear it. Sydney is one if those cities folks travel to anyway i hears...

depends on if they have to have it serviced by Taylor's favorite colluders i mean technicians

I forget who did the video, but I watched one on this. The "cleaning" cycle is a heat sanitation cycle. If there is too much ice cream mix in the machine, it doesn't all get hot enough. That then is reported to the workers in an unclear message. So just remove some mix if the cleaning fails.

it was Johnny Harris who did the video - really good investigative reporting !

@@jeffreypierson2064 Unclear error reports. Well that's some place I have definitely been to.

the ice cream machine not working is mostly an american problem

smart move they wont waste much money for giving out free food, while getting some shitload of publicity

@@penguinpingu3807 I don't think McDonald's needs more publicity lmao, I'm pretty sure they're #1 fast food chain internationally or at least close to #1
Edit: also yes, it is technically a loss for McDonald's to give out free food for the athletes. Idk what u
mean by "they won't waste much money giving out food for free"

Don't be stupid. It tastes good and they need calories. It's not like they're going to suck down a big mac then sit in their room on their pc all day

@@penguinpingu3807 You speak as if McDonalds is this small mom and pop business

@@ZeeBri yes because McDonald's is the most healthy source of calories that professional athletes have access to. Also McDonald's doesn't taste that good idk what your on lmao.

I had to look up if the olympics even took place cause the year was too crazy.

Got slapped then proceed to got kicked

worse yet, the Tokyo Olympiad is still being marketed as the 2020's even as they haven't yet occurred as I type this....

@@syxepop Euro 2020 did the same

The Olympics: unimaginable complexity! Tokyo: best I can do is no spectators, and no international visitors.

I'm going to start writing viola instead of voilà too. Looks better

This is hugely overlooked, this video seems to willingfully gloss over negative impacts of the event.
Granted this is a logistics video it's fun to point at big numbers, I'm left feeling like I got a dose of propoganda.
What is the proof that olympics is actually good for a city compared to a city without olympics?

@@SpectacularLeigh As the video mentioned the demand to host the games is decreasing. After Tokyo Olympics it will decrease further I think

@@tellmeaboutit691 Brisbane, Australia is taking on 2032. Yet it just feels like the bids are about whoever is willing to show up to be the next guinea pig.

@@SpectacularLeigh it’s because people are selfish and don’t want to invest in something unless it directly benefits them

Heard people in Japan have also been ignoring the government's advice to avoid travelling between cities too though? e.g. during Golden Week (maybe to express displeasure at the government, or due to fatigue with pandemic restrictions?) & sports venues e.g. baseball are still allowed to have spectators

same

Haha same

@@theepicjamez99 me to!!

Too

What did u have?

As a resident of Japan it's def a good thing (though I wish it wasn't the case and she could come). As things are now us residents of Japan are having these games forced down our throats. I've never seen the majority of Japanese so angry at having their voices dismissed by the IOC and JOC.

@@noobnoob8138 Why weren't the Japanese more vocal about their refusal to support the bid back in 2010?

@@RaymondHng Cause covid and state of emergencies weren't a thing taking place back then 👀 weird question

@@RaymondHng things were a lot different 10 years ago, for example you were 10 years younger back then, it's just a small example but you can see how different it was

@@RaymondHng secondly politicians who are eager to the next big thing to get clout without thinking about the repercussions

The head of Olympic financial department (or accounting, can't really remember).. it was a guy in charge of money in Japan's Olympic program, and he jumped the rail a couple of months ago.. Give you an idea of where those money went

For that price, you should get something close to a 100Gb link, not 100Mb. Surprised they don't at least have a 1Gb option so they can run >2 4K streams

Think of the IOC like Disney, and the broadcast networks like the guests.

For 30 Mbps download and 5 Mbps upload at that price, too.

It’s a pretty good price for 20Mbps connection

It might help to improve the metro system though! I hear they’re going to bum-rush development to meet the deadlines for the Olympics.

@@Zeoytaccount I certainly hope so! It feels like they’ve been working on the purple line extension for decades!

OBS ception

@Him that doesn’t mean it’s bad software

they are defs NOT using obs :P

I bet it would end up being similar to F1 logistics for fly away races

In rowing they usually pack their boats in special racks that can be transportet in standard shipping containers. When you can get there over land, they use special trailer. That trailers are used for the normal regattas and worldcups anyway.

I've always wondered: How do they transport horses for equestrian events? Do they make special horse size jets? How can they train an animal to calmly sit through something like that?

@@karenhaller9988 was that irony? never seen a horse trailer on the road? i don't know anything about horses, but i guess they get trained to do that stuff and/or the get used to it.

@@alias_not_needed You can't take a trailer across an ocean to Tokyo. And I suppose you could use a boat, but keeping a horse happy in a boat for weeks on end would be challenging too.

Doing it for this Euro could be nice especially because of the circumstances but i doubt an american would talk about it.

Football is the biggest sport in the world and like OP said it’s the most watched event in the world so it would make a good vid definitely

They're just using Toronto and Edmonton in Canada here

While most of American: the biggest sport event is super bowl🤣🤣🤣

Quite similar to olympcs but on a bit smaller scale. Same as for Olympic games, there is a specific company which has the broadcast rights for the world cup and they distribute this to the rest of the world channels

Look at Atlanta Georgia

Yeah true

What could ?
Meaning they did it badly ? Or meaning they genuinely did it well ? Or that they had good plans but poor execution?

@@aperson5994 the huge money dump into infrastructure then everything is abandoned after and then you have a high crime area with no business or good housing.

@@plutomatters9776 Sarajevo had all it's venues bombed/shelled in a civil war. Of course they've decayed

What's world fairs

That's a great idea, as it would contribute to development outside of the capital as well, which is something many countries are struggling to get done these days.

@@samasher5370 the thing the Eiffel tower was built for

I agree. There are some sports that are very tricky to hold a good event. Rowing is such a sport. You need a 2km long piece of water, that is ideally protected from wind. Olympic rowing boats are not built for wavy conditions. So the olympic rowing course in rio was a desaster. There are many artificial created basins for rowing events. Would be much nicer to use them instead. I guess the same goes for sailing, surfing, wild water canoing etc. They all need certain conditions and are held outside the olympic villages anyway, i guess.
But than it would be more about the sport and the athletes and not so much about media and money. Who would want such a thing?

I think it would make sense to do it per state in the US, but other than that I agree with you.

step by step i guess.
i know what you mean, how did anything at all of todays world emerge. it leaves one thinking

What do you expect from the worlds most fit and talented young people?

Same ! Wasn’t the Olympic village in Torino really shoddily built ? I remember seeing some of the housing in terrible condition and that was back in 2014

@@darraghmckenna9127 Probably quality construction by your local Mafia bureau.

@@darraghmckenna9127 Not really, the video make it seem like all the villages were at the end a waste of money and space, but all of them except one were readily converted to normal housing from the beginning, even becoming a very enjoyable place; all except the Turin one, that was in fact left derelict until last year, when works began to convert it to house university students and young workers.

@@IlleScrutator the one across from Lingotto right ?

@@darraghmckenna9127 Yep exactly that one, the others were in a couple little villages close to the mountains

thanks china

@@nunyabusiness8538 you're welcome, loser.

Japan is so unfortunate, because big sport event like Olympic, world cup and Asian Games could attract tourists.

Except for London 2012... Everything was useful after the games.

Montreal's Olympic park area is well integrated too.

Depends on the country really... though generally more often than not that's the case.

Japan barely built any new venues because what they needed has already been built in the previous one or some years before 2020

@You Tube tell that to the us military

There is a dining hall. Search RUclips for "Olympic dining hall" and you will see from the athletes' vlogs tours of the dining hall and that there are food choices other than McDonald's.

@@RaymondHng Meanwhile S Korea chose to self-cater their own food instead by flying in chefs to a hotel that they'd booked for use as a temporary kitchen. 1 speculated reason is to snub Japan publicly, to express it's distrust that Japan's provided food isn't safe from radiation, after the meltdown of the Fukushima No. 1 nuclear power plant in 2011, with some coolant water laced with radiation leaking into the adjacent Pacific Ocean & possibly contaminating seafood caught there

It was the same for London 2012. For years in Britain, that's all you heard about.

Will Ferrell already did that.

Yeah, seems like the IOC made a really clear-cut document to cite.

I think the incredible part is bringing it all together..

plus covid cases due to a shallow vaccine rollout

Lmfao 😂😂😂😂😂😂

The Debt isnt much of a problem though since virtually all of it is owned by Japanese people. A Greece-like situation could only happen if Japan owed its debt to foreigners (like the Greeks do to the Germans)

*"Whatchu know about rolling down in the deep"*
Sorry it had to be done

How much? Live audience is just a cost. In most cases.

@@tolep live audience needs places to eat, shop, sleep. A couple decades or more ago hosting the olympics was a massive economic boon for the host city...but as with everything prices rose significantly to the point we should consider canceling them for good

@@spencervance8484 yup I was gonna go to Japan for my 21st this year but they said nah bro 💀 so that money stayed in Florida 😂

@@tyreekbtb exactly my point.

Like he said, 3/4 of the money comes from TV not visitors

They certainly need the calories.

Usain Bolt used to eat McDonalds pretty regularly. Athletes usually aren’t as picky about individual items of food as you might expect - for a sprinter, so long as its got plenty of protein and calories to compensate for the huge amount of training they’re doing, it’s mostly fine.

@@Zveebo it’s also generally very safe food… getting food poisoning from eating unfamiliar food is not great for athletic performance. Still I’m sure some of the more high-profile athletes now have very specific dietary plans.

It's healthy, balanced food. (Except shakes and sodas)

Fastfood is bad if you're not burning the calories, it's very dense in calories and definitely not meant to be eaten regularly. Plus not all McDonald's are unhealthy, maybe you guys don't have good regulations.

Not to mention that 80%+ of Japanese people surveyed want the Olympics cancelled

We would cancel it if we could but the contract means we'd sued to all hell if we did

@@mcfarofinha134 why'd they sign the dang contract then?

@@gormauslander because thats the only way to become a host in the first place ? Did you even watch the vid ?

@@mcfarofinha134 i did. My point was that it's a huge waste of resources and the people don't want to host, so why did they apply to host?

Considering Usain Bolt famously had a pre-game diet of nothing but Chicken McNuggets before he broke the record in Beijing, that is quite funny in itself

The cash is more important

Why can I see this meme

@@shreyaspillai8421 you are beyond repair now

Nice try, McDo rep

Nonsense fast food is high in saturated fats, msg, salt, is not low GIa and makes you feel bloated. It's the least healthy type of food

high salt content? the fact the you didn't say sodium (what’s found in food - especially in processed food containing preservatives) but salt (what we add to our food.) makes your argument invalid. you don't know what you are talking about. Good day sir

IOC is prepared for anything, from making enormous losses to killing people, efficiency is the name of the game

Tokyo is around 70% vaccinated, and Japan as whole 50% vaccinated. They are vaccinating around 1 million people a day.

imagine being this stupid

calm down doomer

graphics.reuters.com/world-coronavirus-tracker-and-maps/countries-and-territories/japan/
keep up to date following this link. the country is still not up to 30%.. if they continue to vaccinate 1 million a day it will take 22 days to raise that another 10%.
