奥运会给日本经济带来多少帮助?

 　　奥运会给日本经济带来多少帮助?

       What was seen in the past as an Olympic burden for host nations is now being viewed as an Olympic signs of opportunity for Tokyo in 2020. Tokyo Olympic specialists say it did not rely on recovering marketing¹ pitch, but instead, the IOC supported the Japanese capital’s bid has been the safest and the most reliable,something Prime Minister Shinzo Abe promised despite the natural disaster in Fukushina back in 2011.

　　The Prime Minister said the Games should help this country overcome 15 years of deflation. The government suggested it could help boost growth by 0.3% a year for the next 7years. But the US bank Morgan Stanley said it could be more than double that.

　　Japan won despite not putting up the biggest budget for the 2020 Games. Just take a look at what we’re talking about here. While Tokyo in an $8 billion, look, Istanbul more than double that at $19 billion and Madrid committing with the low ballbid—of $5 billion.

　　This was seen as a setback² for Turkey after the Taksim Square protest back in June. With concerns about instability start from the border in Syria, Istanbul is in the midst of a massive infrastructure³ build-up that includes new bridges, and a planned new airport. The 2020 Games will take place just three years ahead of the one-hundredth anniversary of the Turkish Republic.

　　“...It’s not that easy, so, for us. We were going to create the great legacy⁴. So, that’s... we don’t know yet. We cannot say ... we have to go back and think and see.”

　　Turkey would have been the first majority-muslin-population country to host the Games. And it has aspirations⁵ to be a top-10 economy by 2023, with a GDP of $2 trillion.

　　For Madrid, it was a third time unlucky. The city has put three straight bids in for the summer Games in 2012, 2016 and 2020. Again, the EU debt crisis and soaring jobless rate were seen as major strikes against the Spanish.
