Interview to Federico Arroyo
1. What is your opinion about the Olympic Games?
My opinion about the Olympic Games are great and bad, great because you can enjoy watching, but is not good because I think they bring a lot of economic expenses to the country hosting it.
2. Do you think the Olympics are a money pit?
Yes! I surely think that the Olympics are money pit because all the money that the hosting country thinks it is investing, but they are truly wasting it, Like Atens 2004
3. Interesting, how much money do you think it is expended on a Olympic game.
Well, I think that in a normal Olympic game there may be 20,000,000 dollars spent, it should be what the contry money they have to spend, they should not end in a bankrupt.
4. Do you think that the Olympics should be done again?
Even though I like the Olympic, I think that, because of the economic crisis that the world is having at this moment.
