Read the 2024 update to the Oxford Olympic Study!

"Over budget, over and over again!"

THe Oxford scholars revised their 2016 study with data from the most recent Olympics! "In July 2023, Victoria, Australia surprisingly cancelled the 2026 Commonwealth Games due to increasing costs. Less than a year later, in March 2024, media reported that Brisbane — the planned host for the 2032 Olympics — considered pulling out, also over cost concerns. This should not be surprising, given that the three latest Summer Games cost a combined USD 51 billion and had an average cost overrun of 185% in real terms...Cost overruns are the norm for the Games, past, present and future. The Iron Law applies: 'Over budget, over and over again.'"
