Abstract
Logistics and the Olympic Games explores the complex logistical nature of the Olympic Games and its implications for the future of the current Olympic hosting process. It first examines the operational planning of the Rio de Janeiro Summer 2016 Games, followed by a comparison to the Montréal 1976, Sydney 2000, Athens 2004, Beijing 2008, and London 2012 Games. Taking into consideration the economic and social effects that the Games have on host cities, this paper then presents some possibilities for the future of the Games and argues for the need for change.
