If you say “Olympic games” you think probably about sports ,Olympic fire, tradition, world party, happiness and wins. Another important thing is the building. It look likes if the countries also battle to win the competition to build the most beautiful and astonishing eye catcher. This says a lot about a country I think you can compare it with a men who is showing his big new car to his friends. I see it as a kind of present for the country. Most of the times it is not really necessary but it is a nice thing for people who come to visit it and enjoy it!
