The Olympic Games, or Olympics, are an international multi-sport event taking place every four years and comprising summer and winter games. Originally held in ancient Greece, they were revived by a French nobleman, Pierre Frèdy, Baron de Coubertin in the late 19th century.\n\n\nThe Commonwealth Games is a multi-sport event held every four years involving the elite athletes of the Commonwealth of Nations. The first such event, then known as the British Empire Games, was held in 1930. The name changed to British Empire and Commonwealth Games in 1954, to British Commonwealth Games in 1978 and assumed the current name of the Commonwealth Games in 1978.

Athletes don't compete in the Olympics to break records. They compete to celebrate sports, represent their countries and to win Olympic medals.\n\nSo long as there is sports, so long will the Olympic games flourish.

the Olympics WAS a competition for AMATEURS ; Many countries support and train their athletes  some starting as children sent to boarding schools(training camps).\nEconomically there is no gain as to how many medals a country wins...the ONLY economic gain is the profits gained when a country is selected as the host.

They have not yet posted the prices for the 2008 Olympics, but there is a comparison chart so you can get an idea of how much you should put back. I myself am waiting for the 2012 Olympics in London...I lived there for 6 years and that is the perfect excuse to go back to visit!!!
