I have been reading a lot on this as I live in Rio and we have the summer 2016 games. I bought a second condo close to the action and on the beach in the hopes that we get a runup.

They are pouring 15 billion USD into infrastructure before the games. Add in the world cup in 2014 and hopefully Rio will benefit from the world spot light from all of this BUT it does seem as if the gaains are before the games and it is better to sell before then reap the rent benefits of the 17 days. Is that what you are hearing too?

There is a definite benefit to the tourist industry for a few years after the games.

It was pretty intense! Especially the city after the Gold Medal Game. I can tell you that its much easier to work downtown now without a carnival outside your office. At least our employees can come back to work now.

So what's the next HYPE?

Is there a day, one day, in the year when the Sports Machine is not cradling its balls and crooning?

I know, I KNOW! March Madness. Favorable business climate.

No companies in Europe cares or sponsors some of the main US or Asian sports like Baseball, American Football, Basketball etc. either.

So whatever - some of these sports (maybe except LUGE and Curling) have a MASSIVE following in other places than where you live. Think about it...

big reason i left vancouver was those stupid olympics. It used to be a normal, quiet city. Olympics announced, everything skyrockets in price, gangs arrive, murders start happening, etc.

I must say I wasn't a huge fan going in but what a great party! I got tickets to go watch Canada Russia and that was amazing. Probably the most expensive piss up our city has ever and will ever see!
