  1. 1

    Name two examples of global sporting events.

    Model answer

    The Olympic Games and the FIFA World Cup are global sporting events.

  2. 2

    What sporting benefits can a country gain from hosting a global event?

    Model answer

    A host gains new world-class facilities and a chance for home advantage. A host can also inspire more people to take up sport.

  3. 3

    What is meant by the legacy of a global sporting event?

    Model answer

    Legacy is the lasting benefit a host gains after the event has finished. Legacy can include facilities, regeneration, participation and national pride.

  4. 4

    How can hosting a global event fail to deliver a participation legacy?

    Model answer

    Watching elite sport does not guarantee that people start playing it. Participation after London 2012 did not rise as much as organisers had promised.

  5. 5

    What social benefits can hosting a global event bring?

    Model answer

    Hosting can create national pride and a feel-good factor. Hosting can also bring communities together and inspire thousands of volunteers.

  6. 6

    What social problems can hosting a global event cause?

    Model answer

    Local residents can be displaced to make way for venues. Daily life can be disrupted by congestion and heavy security.
