Sport has long been used as a tool for political gain and many
major sporting events are now often framed as a panacea to help
combat issues such as rising obesity rates, decreasing physical
activity levels and wider urban decline. In reality though,
fostering a temporary 'feel-good factor' is the most that many of
these events can ever achieve even though a number are now sold on
the popular rhetoric of legacy. Drawing upon a range of events and
the work of international scholars from a variety of disciplinary
backgrounds, this collection offers insights into the ways in which
events outside of the big two are (re)positioned as part of the
wider sporting landscape. The chapters originally published as a
special issue in Sport in Society.
