“…and intangible aspects represent wellestablished lines of inquiry in mega event studies, such as the built environment and Olympic visions, whereas the practices of humans (and other dynamic hybrids) in (post-)event spaces, and how these vary between different populations, have conceptually and empirically largely been neglected due to an over focus on economic revenue and trickle-down effects (O'Brien& Chalip, 2008;Weed et al, 2012;Preuss 2015; for an exception, seeCashman, 2011).…”

Mega events have recently attracted the attention of social scientists due to their important role for festival capitalism, urban regeneration and political propaganda. Their planning stage often produces elaborate strategies for maximising the benefits before, during and after the actual event, which has given rise to interdisciplinary studies of event legacy and leveraging. This paper aims to advance ongoing debates on the outcomes of sports mega events by bringing together the literatures on mega event legacy, leveraging and actor-network theory. Drawing on a case study on the usage of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, the main legacy of the London 2012 Olympic Games, the paper develops a novel conceptual framework for researching the multi-scalar outcomes of mega events and locating respective studies within the resulting wider research agenda. The proposed concept extends Preuss' (2007) legacy cube in two ways by visualising its five research dimensions in the legacy rings and using three rather than two sub-dimensions per ring, thereby replacing the restrictive dyads of dualistic thinking through more comprehensive but still manageable triads of triadic thought (Jöns, 2006).

“…Although the Olympic Games ‘benefit’ from the knowledge brought in, and normative pressures exerted, by individuals forming the Olympic Caravan (i.e. those individuals who move from one Olympic Games to another; see Cashman, 2006 for more details), the YOG are still relatively new and may not have been able to ‘benefit’ yet from this source of normative pressure. As future YOG editions occur, individuals will be able to move between YOGs or between the YOG and the Olympic Games, thereby increasing the level of normative pressures.…”

(2013 This paper explored the Youth Olympic Games' (YOG) potential sustainability (survival and success) through an analysis of how actors exert various forms of pressure on the YOG. Given the impact of the Olympic Games and of the youth on society, it becomes important to study the newest member of the Olympic Family. Combining stakeholder, network and institutional literatures, a case study of the first Winter YOG in Innsbruck (Austria) was built by means of observations and interviews. The stakeholder network analysis revealed three central stakeholders for the YOG's sustainability: the International Olympic Committee (IOC), the media (press and broadcast), and the athletes' parents. The institutional context was challenged by stakeholders' changing levels of relative saliency, and notably by the parents' emerging saliency. Practically speaking, YOG managers need to be diplomats in balancing pressures originating from the international (IOC) and local (parents) institutional contexts.

“…While most legacy researchers have explored economic impacts, tourism growth, and global image creation (Faulkner, Fredline, Jago, & Cooper, 2003;Getz, 1999;Preuss, 2004;Short, 2008), academics in recent years have emphasized the power of mega-events to create urban legacies that catalyze long-planned developments (Cashman, 2011;Coaffee, 2007;Owen, 2002). In particular, the Olympic Games became known to fast-track infrastructural projects (Essex & Chalkley, 1998;Gold & Gold, 2007;Poynter & Macrury, 2009).…”

Legacy planning in preparation for the Olympic Games has significantly grown in importance for host cities and the International Olympic Committee (IOC) because of wasteful investments for some previous Games. Since the late 1990s, the IOC has actively sought to prevent such overspending through a Transfer of Knowledge program, in which valuable lessons are passed from one host city to the next. This paper analyzes the transport legacies of the Olympic Games, using original archive material and interviews with key decision-makers in five cities. While previous research into the effects of the Olympic Games on host cities suggests that infrastructural legacies are place-specific, the main argument of this paper is that the transport legacies of the Olympic Games are much more uniform across the host cities. Even though host cities' transport systems were intrinsically different pre-Olympics, the author finds that similar features of Olympic transport systems, developed through the Transfer of Knowledge program, produced similar legacies. In explaining the creation of transport legacies through Olympics-motivated drivers, the author suggests the Olympics might trigger similar transport developments in future host cities. Therefore, city planners can use Olympic transport features as powerful catalysts to accelerate their urban and transport plans.
