1. Olympics are never profitable, only time it has been profitable was when it was held in existing infra.
2. We will be the lowest medal winning host. We need to get better at olympics before hosting. Atleast start getting 3-5 golds.
3. Most of the Indians don't even know most of the sports in olympics, people will hardly turn up for most of the events where India is not there.
4. India doesn't have a single world class city to host. On top of that they will be hosting in Ahmedabad. Not sure what kind of experience will that be.
5. Ahmedabad has never hosted any big multi sport event. There is not even that much hotel capacity in that city since its not a major tourist hub or not even that big of international business hub like Mumbai or Bangalore.
6. I am actually less concerned about the actual venues, If BJP is in govt. till at least 2029, and in state they will stay longer, I think venues contruction will go better than CWG. Although, mismanagement of cricket world cup makes me nervous.
7. I am more concerned about city being dirty, having inadequate infra and our public being assholes to visitors.
TLDR: We know it won't be profitable, but I am more concerned that it will be mismanaged/ visitors won't have great experience causing more disrepute like CWG. Ahmedabad should first host Asian games or CWG.
1. A lot of civil works by government and transportation stuff are never Profitable. Then should Govt stop running buses, metros, railways around the world?
2. No one cares whether we get medals of not. Brazil is not shining example of getting enough medals but they still hosted the games. We have just started to do better in sports internationally. Even a haul of 10-20 medals would be good enough for us keeping in mind that we used to win single medal in each Olympics for long time.
3. BS argument. People know a lot more about sports then you think. During CWC, people were lining to get tickets in stadiums but the govt had not released enough tickets for general public.
4. All Metro cities are WC only with their own set of problems. All WC cities have their own fare share of issues. Often the best or largest city of any country does not get to Host the Olympics. Ahmedabad currently is one of the best place to host the games.
5. If it manages to get the hosting rights, then all relevant infra will be made there.
6. The news of mismgmt of Cricket WC is overblown by our Neighbours. The opening match had the highest ever viewer ship in the stadium for all WC happened till now.
7. Ahmedabad is far from being dirty, having inadequate infra and our public being assholes to visitors.
