Sydney Olympics

Sydney Olympics explores the long-term effects of the 2000 Games on Australia, focusing on economic impact, global reputation, and sports development. It moves beyond initial enthusiasm to provide a fact-based analysis of the event's complex legacy. The book argues that while there were short-term benefits, the long-term consequences are nuanced, with both positive and negative outcomes.

The book begins with an overview of pre-Olympic Australia, then systematically analyzes the three core themes. For example, it examines whether increased tourism revenue and infrastructure spending truly translated into lasting economic growth. It also explores how the Games altered Australia's international standing and influenced the development of sports within the country.

The book uses government reports, economic data, and previously unreleased internal reports to support its analysis. By weighing the tangible costs against the benefits, Sydney Olympics offers valuable insights for future Olympic host nations. It provides evidence-based lessons for policymakers, sports administrators, and urban planners, aiding in more informed decision-making regarding mega-event economics and strategies to maximize positive legacies.
