Since the 2024 games are heading to Paris, I wanted to ask people from countries which have hosted the Olympics, how does the general populace look back on it?
I’ve heard about how Brits reminisce about 2012 as one of the best years to be alive in Britain.
Some Greeks meanwhile seem to look back at Athens 2004 less fondly, given the economic crisis the plagued the country years later.
Are these views accurate? What about from those who weren’t mention? How do Italians remember Torino 2006? How do the Spanish remember Barcelona 1992?
