Sure olympics is a major event. But its a fact that the event is usually a loss making investment for the hosts.

>Every single Olympics since 1960 has gone over budget.

Most sports are barely watched by people at the venues, so increased tourism is in itself a hoax. Tracks & infra development cant be used later turning into NPA eventually. Sports like cricket, rugby can actually bring the viewership. Adding more water sports is just going to increase the irrelevant costs with low returns. There's always debate around wrestling, boxing, which brings large viewership from asian countries.

And for anyone representing in a sport, the highest aspiration isn't the event, its winning for the team/country.

But surely a "world" series should go past america/canada atleast.

If this comment is a joke, then funny.

But Nawaz is no where at fault. It wasn't a mammoth score on his tab to defend. Then bowling in death and he didn't get battered by some tailenders, it was Virat Kohli. Bowling the 20th over as a spinner on a pacers' pitch wasn't meant to be. Babar fucked up, big time.
