Hosting the Olympic Games entails many inconveniences for Parisians, but the urban transformation and sporting infrastructures will remain, as the example of London has shown, says alumna Sarah Bartesaghi Truong, chapter leader of the Bocconi Alumni Community in the French capital

Barcelona, London and Beijing have demonstrated that building a strong legacy is what a host city needs to plan for, if it wants to reap Olympic externalities. The Milano Cortina 2026 Winter Games, which follow on the footsteps of Milano Expo 2015, are a case in point

Fencing medalist at the European and World Championships, Federico Vismara will be a first-time Olympian at Paris 2024, which are likely to be also his last Games, because afterwards he will put his Bocconi degree to good use

From economic sustainability, thinking about the afterlife of facilities built for the Olympics, to environmental sustainability, with the use, for example, of solar and geothermal energy or mattresses made from recycled fishing nets. However, the real challenge is the social sustainability and legacy of the Games

For Eleonora Giorgi, Olympian and Bocconi alumna, Paris 2024 will be the fourth time she competes in the Games. But she doesn't think about retiring from racewalking, since she has Los Angeles 2028 in her sights

Sustainability, gender equality, inclusion: in Paris 2024, values will be on the podium with the athletes. For a better future, where young generations live in a world free of international strife
