本文基于近年来中国、英国和巴西在举办奥运会和国际足联世界杯足球赛等大型体育活动的经验，拟对2016年里约奥运会的影响进行分析。本文的分析始于两个一般性前提：一是体育竞赛日益国际化，二是这些大型体育活动对国际关系越来越重要。赢得这些大型体育活动的举办权，并展示国际声望，对举办国家和城市来说都是一个向世界展现其积极形象和吸引投资与商务的独特机会。
The objective of this article is to analyze the effects of the Rio 2016 Olympics，based on the recent experience of countries that organized sports mega-events such as the Olympics and the Football World Cup FIFA，namely China，the United Kingdom and Brazil. We start with two general assumptions. The first is that sports competitions are increasingly internationalized；the second is that these sports mega-events have become increasingly important for international relations. To win the right to organize these sports mega-events，along with international prestige demonstration，is a unique opportunity for countries and cities to project a positive image to the world and to attract investment and business.
