The 2022 Winter Olympics officially started yesterday, Friday February 4, in Beijing. The “World Tour of Correspondents” takes us for a retrospective in Japan, South Korea, England, and Greece.
► In Japan, the government is pleased to have done “the job” by avoiding mentioning the considerable economic and social cost of the Tokyo Games.
► In South Korea, the experience of the 2018 Winter Games is a little more successful with a totally different context.
► In England, another good experience when London hosted the Summer Games in 2012. Ten years later, what legacy and what results for the London Olympics?
► In Greece, the country where the ancient Olympic Games were born, Athens hosted the first Games of the modern era in 1876, then in 2004. From this last edition, Athens benefited from some improvements, but also inherited infrastructures abandoned.
