The last Olympics were held in Athens in Greece in the year 2004. This international games event is held once in four years, after a board of panel members vote for the city. This year, the prestigious event will be held in Beijing, China. It is always a big honor for any city, if they are allowed to host such a massive event such as the Olympics.
It is not only a reflection about the government of the country, it also talks about the good infrastructure the city will have. Every year, millions of dollars are spent to construct the grand stadium for the games. It is no exception this year as well. There will be a spectacular fireworks display and there will be millions watching this event from the stands as well as on television from all over the world.
The main source of revenue for Olympics will be from the sales of the millions of tickets for various events during the two week schedule. There will also be plenty of sponsors to help with various events. People travel from all over the world to cheer their teams to victory. Let us see if United States bags the first place again with the number of medals they capture.
