Follow Key Olympic Management Decisions

Our correspondents are always keeping close tabs on the latest Olympic drug scandals as well as decisions and developments within the International Olympic Committee. One of the Olympic management decisions that consistently attracts the most attention is the awarding of host city rights for each of the upcoming events. At Around the Rings, we maintain the most widely used predictor of these hosting city decisions, the ATR Olympic Bid Power Index. This index allows us to numerically rank each prospective Summer or Winter Olympic sports site based on eleven key criteria that include:

  • Ambiance
  • Accommodations
  • Cost
  • Legacy
  • Marketing
  • Security
  • Government and public support

Our figures are calculated based on numerous on-site visits and painstaking analysis by a team of experienced and vetted Around the Rings correspondents. Explore AroundTheRings.com to learn more about this index and see who's leading the race for the currently contested hosting rights.
