Introduction

The purpose of the slideshow is to provide information on the Olympic Games held at various countries, the overall cost and identify additional venues built by the hosting country.

The presentation will also include information on outstanding achievements by athletes, the nation’s mascots and any new world records set at the games. As a group we identified numerous methods in verifying the credibility of the sources used. Our methods used are; Authority, Currency, Peer Reviewed, Comparison and Corroboration.

Utilising all of these methods ensured that the sources were accurate, up to date and that the authors had the authority to write such facts with credibility.

COST OF THE GAMES

In 2000, the Auditor-General of New South Wales reported that the Sydney Games cost A$6.6 billion, with a net cost to the public between A$1.7 and A$2.4 billion. It has been estimated that the economic impact of the 2000 Olympics was that A$2.1 billion shaved from public consumption. Economic growth was not stimulated and in the years after 2000, foreign tourism to NSW grew by less than tourism to Australia as a whole. (McPhee, 2002)

Marion Jones, winner of three gold and two bronze medals for the United States, relinquished them in October 2007 after confessing that she had taken tetrahydrogestrinone. “The IOC formally stripped Jones and her relay teammates of their 5 medals, although her teammates were to be offered opportunity to present a case for retaining their medals, eventually being reinstated”. (CBSnews 2008 & Wikipedia 2015)

“Moussambani won brief international fame at the 2000 Summer Olympics when he swam his heat of the 100 m freestyle in 1:52.72. His time was more than twice that of his faster competitors, and outside even the 200 m world record” (Lord 2000). Eric set a new personal best and Equatoguinean national record. As of 2012 Moussambani is the coach of the national swimming squad of Equatorial Guinea.
