Introduction / Global Sports Impact Report 2017 Global Sports Impact Report 2017 / Introduction

2016 was an Olympic year and for many sports this represents the culmination of a four-year programme.

For these sports the Olympics is the pinnacle of the cycle and thus in an Olympic year sports like badminton omit their world championships, which otherwise are held annually.

This accounts for the 70 events studied during 2016 in this GSI Report compared with the 83 events studied during 2015.

The GSI Report 2017 analyses the impact of sport in the period 2013 through to 2016 and compares the 313 events that have been studied during this period and the cities and nations that have hosted them.

The first two editions of the GSI Report focused on a broad range of indicators. Thanks to the ever-increasing scope of the project and the data gathered, the 2017 report focuses on a limited number of core sectors. Separate reports and papers will be published covering other elements of the GSI Project in the future.

Analysis of the event-hosting trends during the 2013-16 cycle show an increase in the number of major events taking place in North America, while Europe continues to host the largest share of events overall by continent.

Announced in April 2017, the Global Sports Nations and Cities Index is published in full exclusively in this report. Featuring 621 cities from 86 nations, the index analysed 705 events across 151 categories in 81 sports, including summer and winter Olympic sports and Olympic ‘recognised’ sports. USA was once again named number one Global Sports Nation, while London, UK retained its place as number one Global Sports City.

This year’s report has also identified the top 25 most valuable events judged according to their holistic impact during the 2013-16 cycle. The analysis has helped answer the age-old question: which major sports event produces the largest impact, after the Olympic Games and Fifa World Cup, and can therefore be considered the world’s ‘third largest sports event’?

Introduction

As 2016 was an Olympic year, a special analysis of the economics of the Olympic Games has been conducted, finding that revenue distribution by the International Olympic Committee to Olympic Games Organising Committees (OCOGs) has failed to increase in line with increased media and sponsorship revenues.

OCOG revenues, however, have fluctuated depending on the host city. With better structured ticketing and domestic sponsorship and licensing programmes, OCOGs can significantly increase their revenues, which are used to help cover the costs of staging the Games. This underlines the importance of transferring knowledge from one host to the next in order to maximise returns and cover the costs of hosting.

Host cities of the Olympic Games rely heavily on the reporting of economic impact to justify the colossal spending required to stage the Games and often fail to look at the wider, more holistic, impacts that an Olympic Games can generate. This reporting is frequently characterised by academics and economic commentators as being far too inconsistent and inaccurate.

Research by leading academics in this area has shown that no Games since 1960 has come in under budget, signalling a clear problem for future potential host cities, as the substantial costs act as a deterrent for future bids.

Across the 2013-16 Olympic cycle, a staggering 54,392,673 spectators attended the 317 events analysed as part of the GSI scope of research.

Almost 16 million people attended the 70 analysed multisport games, world and continental championships in 2016, with an average of 57,233 spectators attending the 57 world championships.

In addition to the 70 events within the GSI scope of research, analysis of 70 leading annual sports properties across 17 sports during the 2015-16 / 2016 seasons shows that a total of more than 505 million spectators attended these events.

A year-on-year attendance analysis of 56 of these selected major annual properties, covering 13 sports, shows a very minor decline in attendance of 0.27 per cent overall during 2016 compared with 2015. This could raise some concern for event owners, as the data analysed contains 858 additional fixtures taking place across all of the events, with a notable increase in the number of post-season playoff matches in some sports.

Sport-specific declines were found in major properties relating to American football, basketball, cycling and tennis. Increases were found in baseball, cricket, rugby union and soccer.

What is the GSI Project?

Working with a wide variety of stakeholders and experts worldwide, through its Global Sports Impact (GSI) Project, Sportcal has developed a methodology to measure the holistic impact of events and a standard to capture the narrative coming from these events to produce comprehensive and informative analysis and insight for the sports industry.

Sportcal has developed a knowledge-sharing portal that enables rights holders, hosts and stakeholders to understand more about the wider impacts of their events, providing greater insight into the benefits of hosting major sporting events.

A range of services have been developed through the GSI Project, aimed at helping stakeholders capture information about their events, analyse the data and benchmark against other events, nations and cities.

“We believe that sport is undervalued and that the true impact of sport is not fully understood, and thus rarely captured.”

Event Hosting and Bidding / Global Sports Impact Report 2017 Global Sports Impact Report 2017 / Event Hosting and Bidding

Event Hosting and Bidding Event Hosting GSI Report 2017 provides a year by year breakdown of event hosting throughout the 2013-16 Olympic cycle, focussing on the ever-changing continental distribution of events, top hosting nations and cities, including an in-depth look at the year 2016.

Throughout the 2013-16 cycle, 323 top-tier world championship and multisport events have been analysed as part of the GSI Project.

The number of events taking place each year throughout an Olympic cycle remains broadly similar, except for in an Olympic year when the number of events decreases.

During 2013, 80 events that qualify for analysis under the GSI criteria took place throughout the year whilst 86 events took place in 2014 and 87 in 2015.

In 2016, the year of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, 70 events took place.

As depicted in the line chart, the number of GSI events to have taken place in Europe declined throughout the Olympic cycle. The number of events to take place in Africa, Asia, North America, Oceania and South America did not differ greatly from 2013 to 2016, although the latter failed to host a single event in 2015 before hosting seven in total during 2016.

Event Hosting and Bidding / Global Sports Impact Report 2017 Global Sports Impact Report 2017 / Event Hosting and Bidding

Global Sports Nations and Cities IndexThe Global Sports Nations and Cities Index is based on an in-depth analysis of more than 700 major multi-sport games and world championships over a rolling 14-year period, covering seven years in the past and seven years in the future.

This period allows events from a minimum of three Olympic cycles to be taken in to consideration.

The index incorporates more than 70 sports, including summer and winter Olympic sports and Olympic ‘recognised’ sports.

The aim is to identify which cities and nations are bidding for and winning the right to host global sports events. In orderfor it to be truly global the index needs to focus on events that any country can bid for, with a few exceptions for multi-sport games.

This means that continental events and world series events are excluded from the current index. As discussed in the Global Sports Impact (GSI) Project chapter, this methodology is being developed in order to establish a benchmarking system whereby continental championships and world series events can be included.

Thus, events such as soccer’s Euro 2016, a continental championship for one sport, and golf’s Ryder Cup, an event limited to only certain countries for one sport, are excluded from the current index. These events do however receive a GSI Event Rating, allowing us to compare event by event using the GSI Project methodology. These ratings are detailed in the Event Analysis chapter.

Selected continental multi-sport games are included in the index such as the African Games, Asian Games, European Games, Pacific Games, Pan American Games and Commonwealth Games.

Data is gathered on the events that are covered in the index and each event is given a weighting based on the GSI Events Rating system. The GSI Events Rating is calculated based on the size, scale and impact of an event using a range of data indicators which cover economic, sporting, media andsocial impacts.

As the index rolls in to 2017, we lose events from the year 2010 and gain events awarded for the year 2024. As a result, top scoring major events from 2010 such as the Fifa World Cup which took place across South Africa; the Asian Games in Guangzhou, China; Olympic Winter Games in Vancouver, Canada; and the Commonwealth Games in New Delhi, India no longer register points for these host cities and nations.Canada in particular, falling two places to fifth, is affected by the loss of the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Winter Games.

Having successfully hosted the Pan American and Para Pan American games in 2015, cities in Canada have been cautious in bidding for both the Commonwealth Games and Olympic Games due to the projected costs. Since the last index, Edmonton, Canada was awarded the ITU World Triathlon Series Grand Final 2020 which added to its total; however this was not enough to remain ahead of China and the United Kingdom.

Economic Impact / Global Sports Impact Report 2017 Global Sports Impact Report 2017 / Economic Impact

Economic ImpactThe GSI Project has established the need for a consensus surrounding the global measurement of economic impact in order to accurately compare the benefits of hosting major sporting events in different countries and between different sports. GSI Report 2017 explores the cost versus return considered by cities bidding to host the Olympic Games.

Previous editions of the Global Sports Impact Report have detailed the differing models used to quantify the economic impact of major sporting events. The analysis has outlined the lack of consensus among academics and industry experts around what should and should not be included when measuring impact.

To be able to accurately compare events on a like for like basis, the scope of research and methodologies used need to be the same. The GSI Project has found significant variations in the reporting of economic impact from organisations based in the same country and even when studying the same event, in part due to the differing objectives of each study commissioner.

Economics of the Olympic GamesThe economic impact of the Olympic Games is a hotly contested topic and due to the sheer size and scale of the mega-event, is often complex to quantify.

Pre-event impact estimates can often be used to justify public spending and accelerate infrastructure projects within a host city. However, citizens around the world are now better informed and have access to a wealth of information, especially through digital platforms, making it increasingly difficult for decision makers to justify the case for spending vast amounts of public money on hosting major sporting events based on the economic benefits of hosting those events.


Global Sports Impact Report 2017 / Economic Impact

Economic impact is derived using key data indicators which feed in to a model to quantify impact, whether this be to establish the direct economic impact, or indirect and induced economic impact produced as a result of an event taking place in a specific location.

Indirect and induced economic impact models rely on multipliers which produce a larger economic impact value for an event. The multiplier effect accounts for initial spending in a region which then generates further spending in the local economy. There is no consensus as to the size of the multiplier effect used to calculate economic impact, with a wide range of methodologies available, thus making it almost impossible to compare indirect and induced economic impact between events.

Economic impact has been shown to revolve largely around the initial investment into the host locations, from both direct and indirect capital spending in order to bring infrastructure up to the standards required for the event. This creates numerous jobs along the supply chain due to the intensive period in which the infrastructure must be readied.

The second wave of impact comes from attendance and tourism - the number of spectators attending events, whether these are locals or visitors, how much these visitors are spending during their time in the host location, for how long they stay in the location and where they are staying.

Economic impact studies are often used to justify public spending, whether accelerating transport infrastructure (airport expansion, rail links, highways, etc.) as a result of hosting a major event or using public funds to cover some of the costs of staging the event.

If the public are unaware of the benefits, they are less likely to support the staging of the event. If the benefits can be shown to outweigh the costs, the public are more likely to support the investment in hosting a major sporting event.

• Pre-event phase – from the announcement of bidding, to the awarding of the bid, to the staging of the event

• Hosting phase – the year in which the event is taking place

• Post-event phase – from the end of the event to the foreseeable future, often used in the same context as legacy

The economic impact produced by events is an important measurement for event owners, event organisers, local or national government, and also to sponsors and broadcasters.

The economic impact of an event can inform the key decision makers at city and government organisations looking to bid for major sporting events.

There is a need to develop a standard global methodology for measuring the economic impact of major sporting events, thus enabling comparisons to be made between events hosted in different countries and different events from different sports.

The GSI Report has established an industry-leading methodology for calculating the number of bed nights an event generates from participants and media, in order to analyse the tourism impact from an event before a single ticket is even sold. This methodology is used in turn to help event owners better understand the baseline economic impact of their events, and helps event hosts calculate the projected direct economic impact of potential or newly acquired events.

The 70 world championships and multisport games in 2016 combined to generate 1,517,900 bed nights for their hosts, from participants (comprising athletes, team officials and technical officials) and media alone.

Unsurprisingly, the Rio summer Olympics recorded the highest number of participant and media bed nights, at over 600,000.Multisport games, with high numbers of athletes and officials staying for relatively long durations, made up five of the top seven events sorted by bed nights.

Soccer’s major events of 2016 – UEFA Euro and the Copa América Centenario – also recorded high numbers of bed nights (162,700 and 67,700, respectively), principally due to the large media delegations that cover these events.

But the true tourism impact of these events is much higher than these figures, which do not take into account overseas spectators, athlete-accompanying friends or family members, or participants who extend their stay beyond the duration of the event for training or holiday purposes. Rather, the participant and media bed night figures give a good indication of the baseline tourism impact for any given event.

Sporting ImpactGSI Report 2017 has analysed 70 multisport games, world and continental championships which took place in 2016. An analysis of competing athletes, competing nations, event types, gender parity and medals performance has provided a broad overview of the sporting landscape. A progressive analysis inclusive of previous GSI Reports highlights the differences between each year of the Olympic cycle and the decrease in the number of world championships in an Olympic year compared to the three previous years.

With many athletes and national federations focused on the landmark event of 2016 – the Olympic Games – this in turn resulted in fewer world championship and multisport games taking place than in 2015. The decrease in numbers was found most prominently in summer world championships, whereby eight fewer events took place compared to 2015.

This was in part due to the fact that a number of summer Olympic sport international federations do not host events in Olympic years as the magnitude of the Games would outdo the prestige of a world championship held in the same year. Sports such as badminton, canoeing, judo, weightlifting and wrestling each host annual senior world championships, except in an Olympic year.

The focus for federations in the months preceding the Olympics tends to be on regional qualification events, which reward athletes with the final places available at the Olympic Games.

While fewer world championships and multisport games also mean fewer athletes taking part, there were other reasons for the lower number of participants in 2016 than in previous years. The one that gained the most attention was the fall-out from the Russian doping scandal and the McLaren Report. Russia, one of the traditional powerhouses of world sport, would be represented by fewer athletes than originally intended at the Olympics, and not at all at the Paralympics. Russia had originally intended to send 387 competitors to the Olympics, and 267 to the Paralympics.

Kuwait was another country which saw restrictions applied to its athletes, following the decision by the IOC (International Olympic Committee) to suspend the Kuwait Olympic Committee (KOC) in late 2015 for political interference in the affairs of the KOC and national sports federations. This had ramifications for Kuwaiti sportsmen and sportswomen in 2016, including those who competed as Independent Olympic Athletes at the Rio Games.

The effect of warfare and conflict continues to linger in some parts of the world, which also has a significant impact on the ability of athletes in these places to train, qualify and compete at world championships and multisport games. This was applicable to a nation like Syria, which has been engulfed in a civil war since 2011. In 2012, Syria sent ten athletes to the Olympic Games and the 11 athletes to the Paralympic Games. For the 2016 edition, there were seven Syrian competitors in the Olympics, and two in the Paralympics, in addition to two athletes of Syrian origin who competed under the flag of the Refugee Olympic Team, and one under the Independent Paralympic Athletes Team.

Event Analysis / Global Sports Impact Report 2017 Global Sports Impact Report 2017 / Event Analysis

The event analysis pages showcase data from the 70 multisport games and world championships featured in this report, complete with each event’s GSI Event Rating, and its GSI Event Ranking out of all events in 2016.

Up to 50 individual data points are presented for each of the 70 major events of 2016, allowing us to analyse and compare the relative impacts that are created by each event, and include tourism impact insight from Sportcal’s exclusive bed nights analysis.

Event Analysis

GSI EVENT RATING

The GSI Event Rating Breakdown details the proportion of the event’s GSI Event Rating attributed to economic, sporting, media and social impacts. Where limited data was available for an event, this breakdown may score zero for those impacts. For example if there was no television coverage of an event, a media impact score will not be included.

Each GSI Event Rating was calculated using data which was made available up to 31 March 2017.

As a result of rounding up or down, the GSI Event RatingBreakdowns may not total in some cases. Additionally, impact pillar breakdowns are in some cases unavailable. This may be because there was no television media coverage of an event, or there is no data available for the event, in which case N/A is used.

BED NIGHTS

Bed nights detailed in the event analysis are for ‘participants and media’, comprising athletes, officials (team and technical), and accredited media only. The calculations were formed using the methodology detailed in the Sports Tourism chapter.

The calculations give an insight into the number of bed nights each event generates, before a single ticket is sold, or before overseas spectators are counted.

Sportcal’s participant and media bed nights methodology does not take into account whether accommodation was paid for by visitors or by organisers/hosts.

TV AND ONLINE STREAMING COVERAGE

Sportcal’s analysis of TV broadcasters and TV nations is for live, delayed and highlights broadcast only.

Some event pages detail extended TV coverage, which also includes news and magazine programming.

Additionally, some event pages detail whether the event was available to stream online and in some instances the number of nations for which the stream was available in.

Not all international federations and/or local organising committees measure media data to this extent and therefore only data which was made available has been included in this report.

ESTIMATED DATA

Data points marked with an asterisk (*) have been estimated using a combination of factors including international federation and local organising committee estimates, previous event data and official event communication materials.
