In the discussion about the Olympics, onlookers lamented, "Alas, these countries have picked up a bargain but ended up in debt!" In modern society, hosting an Olympic Games seems to be not just a sports feast but also a gamble for local finances. When countries bid for the Olympics, they face not only opportunities but also huge economic burdens that are hard to bear. The cost of the Olympics has skyrocketed since the 21st Montreal Summer Olympics in 1976. In recent decades, the budget for the Olympics has risen from hundreds of millions of dollars to tens of billions. For example, the total cost of the 2016 Rio de Janeiro Olympics was as high as 12billion,andthecostoftheTokyo2020Olympicsreached12 billion, and the cost of the Tokyo 2020 Olympics reached 12billion,andthecostoftheTokyo2020Olympicsreached15 billion, despite adjustments due to the pandemic. Such high costs deter many countries, and even some that have hosted the Olympics feel unable to cope. The huge construction and operating expenses not only strain the national treasury but also worry ordinary people about whether future economic burdens will be imposed on their lives. Montreal and Athens, the experiences of these two cities are undoubtedly a warning for modern Olympics. After the 1976 Olympics, Montreal failed to control its budget properly, shouldering debt problems for decades until it finally paid them off in 2006. Athens, although once bustling before the 2004 Olympics, fell into financial difficulties after the games due to the idling of venues and increased maintenance costs. The success and failure of Athens serve as a wake-up call for emerging host countries.…

The 33rd round of CBA league matches is in full swing, and tonight Shanxi team welcomed the challenge of Guangzhou team at home. It was originally thought that this would be an unattractive match between strong and weak teams, with the outcome seemingly predetermined from the start. However, Guangzhou team showed unexpected tenacity, with both sides fighting almost to the end. Ultimately, Shanxi team won 124:116 against Guangzhou team, securing their fourth consecutive victory. Unexpectedly, towards the end of the match, an incident occurred. With the game situation already decided, Shanxi team player Jia Mingru made a three-pointer with 2.8 seconds left and performed a muscle-flexing gesture towards Guangzhou team's bench. This was clearly a provocative action, which Guangzhou team found hard to tolerate, especially in defeat. As the two teams were about to shake hands, conflict erupted due to Jia Mingru's actions. However, since it was their home court, Jia Mingru was very excited and even spread his arms to ask for more cheers and applause from the fans. Fortunately, the conflict did not escalate, and the situation calmed down with the intervention of both teams' players. What was surprising was that after the game ended and both teams had returned to their respective locker rooms, Guangzhou team's players actually rushed into Shanxi team's locker room collectively. This was clearly an irrational behavior; if any fighting had broken out, Guangzhou team would have suffered significant losses, as the CBA league does not tolerate such incidents. Fortunately, the players from both teams did not meet in the locker room corridor.…

With the flames of the U20 Asian Cup about to ignite, the entire Chinese football world is immersed in an atmosphere of anticipation and tension. This event is not only a stage for young players to showcase themselves and fulfill their dreams, but also a crucial period for the national team's head coach to select future stars and plan for the long term. In this context, Ivan, the head coach of the national team, has become the focus of attention with his unique vision and rich experience. His every move tugs at the heartstrings of countless fans and media. Among the many promising new stars, Ivan's gaze has not merely lingered on those who are well-known and talented. Although domestic player Wang Yudong, known as "Yamar," has already made a name for himself in the youth league with his excellent skills and keen sense of goal, and the prodigy Du Yuezheng has won numerous accolades for his agile movements and precise passing in midfield, there is another particularly special player in Ivan's heart: midfielder Yimulan. Yimulan may not be as well-known as Wang Yudong and Du Yuezheng, but his strength and potential cannot be underestimated. On the field, he stands out with his stable playing style, excellent strategic vision, and precise interception ability, becoming an indispensable barrier in the team's midfield. He can effectively connect the team's offensive and defensive systems and step up in critical moments with pinpoint passes or key interceptions to win precious victory opportunities for the team. The reason why Ivan has a soft spot for…

In a recent exclusive interview with "Tiyu Xin Shijie," Tianjin Tigers player Barton seems to have come to terms with his new role in his career. He revealed that as early as last year, Coach Yu Genwei began discussing matters related to the full-back position with him, showing that this coach is indeed far-sighted and prepared for any eventuality, fearing that the team might fall into chaos at the start of the new season. When talking about playing as a right-back in the warm-up matches, Barton mentioned somewhat helplessly that due to experienced veterans like Da Han and Tomorrow leaving, the team had to reassess its economic situation and survival capabilities. As a result, it needed to continuously tap into its internal potential. Isn't this a textbook interpretation of "self-sufficiency"? Interestingly, Barton also appears quite confident in adapting to this new position. He mentioned the tacit cooperation between himself and the older players, which can truly be described as mutual understanding and tacit agreement among "old hands." Who knows if this is preparation for playing as a full-back or to continue adapting to the role of a winger in the future? In any case, he stated that his physical fitness remains strong, and he has transformed himself into a "defensive warrior" with a gentle demeanor. However, he also clearly pointed out the key issue of defensive awareness. Let me remind everyone again that defense is not an easy task; perhaps this new position poses a more serious and severe test for him. When discussing his role within the team, Barton…

Just when fans thought they wouldn't even make it to the playoffs, Shanghai Team suddenly found their form and achieved an incredible 16-game winning streak, which is also the longest winning streak of the season, directly bringing the team into the playoff ranks! A 16-game winning streak has given Shanghai Team a new lease on life and proved that they have the strength to challenge the top 4 and even the championship. However, after the winning streak, Shanghai Team encountered some trouble, losing consecutively to Liaoning and Shanxi, suffering two consecutive defeats. Although they still firmly occupy a playoff spot, it has stalled the team's progress forward, and they need to make adjustments to regain their form! The reasons for Shanghai Team's two consecutive defeats are numerous. When facing Liaoning, the absence of their key player Xiaolufu Dun caused a drop in the team's offensive and defensive capabilities, leading to an inevitable loss! In the match against Shanxi, they were on a continuous away game schedule. Although Xiaolufu Dun returned, the team's fatigue from traveling and the average performance of other players led to a loss of competitiveness! Fortunately, after the two consecutive defeats, Shanghai finally faced a weaker team - Sichuan Team, which gave them an…

On January 20th, Casa Pia Brings Warmth Monday 004 Portuguese League Boavista VS Casa Pia Match Time: January 21st, 04:15 Boavista is deeply mired in a financial crisis and has encountered a transfer ban, allowing them to only sell players but not buy any, resulting in an unsatisfactory squad. After 17 matches in the Portuguese league, they have accumulated 12 points and are ranked at the bottom. Among these, they have 3 draws and 5 losses in 8 home games, scoring only 2 goals while conceding 12, failing to win a single match with an extremely weak attacking power. Additionally, their two main central midfielders, Silva and Perez, continue to be sidelined due to injuries and suspensions respectively, significantly impairing the team's midfield operations. Overall, there are too many negative factors, leaving them with no appeal. On the contrary, Casa Pia has accumulated 24 points after 17 matches in the Portuguese league, ranking 7th with significantly better results. In their recent 5 matches, they have won 3, drawn 1, and lost 1, showing a clear improvement in form. In terms of squad, they welcome back their top scorer Moreira from suspension, with a complete lineup ready to give it their all. They have more obvious highlights and are likely to gain support. Casa Pia starts with a medium-to-high return for the away -0.25 handicap, later dropping to a medium return for Casa Pia. On one hand, Boavista has no appeal, and Casa Pia's away handicap gives them support. On the other hand, under the circumstances where an away victory becomes…
