    Why don't you give exact delivery time?

    Delivery time is estimated on our previous experiences. We give estimations only, because we order from outside Hungary, and the delivery time mainly depends on how quickly the publisher supplies the book. Faster or slower deliveries both happen, but we do our best to supply as quickly as possible.

    Long description:

    This book examines the significance of the Brisbane Olympics and Paralympics, taking place in 2032, in the context of the history and future of the Olympic Movement.


    As an outlier host, Brisbane is an experiment towards a new Olympic and Paralympic future. In an era of rising costs, the Brisbane Games represent a significant shift away from megacities towards a more sustainable future for the Olympics. Drawing on research including media analysis, published interviews and official documents, and considering host cities and nations, legacies, athletes and Olympic history, this book examines the viability of Olympic outliers and asks whether they might develop into the Olympic mainstream.


    This is an important read for anybody with an interest in the Olympics, sport history, sport media, sport governance and policy, or events.
