Should NZ host the Olympics.

                                Should New Zealand Host The Olympic Games?

I am here to persuade you that New Zealand should NOT host the Olympic Games!There are so many reasons why we shouldn’t, but to explain all of them, it would take quite a long time, so here are just a few.

To begin with, our country is too small. There would not be enough room to build all the new facilities, stadiums and arenas. Buildings, including homes will have to be demolished to make for the new Olympic arenas. Also, since we have such a small population, may not have enough builders to get it finished in 8-10 years. They would have to work long hours planning and building. They would get sore muscles and might not get a lot of time to rest them. The Olympics would have to be held in Auckland, it would not be fair, just because the other cities are too small for it.

Furthermore, New Zealand would not have enough money. There would not be enough money to build more houses, hotels and motels, not to mention all stadiums. Workers might get half way through building a stadium when they find out they won’t have enough money to finish it to high standards eg: no seating, or no lights, it would be a disaster to have to compete in unfinished conditions.

My final reason is there is not a lot of room for people to stay. Since we are such a small country there is almost no room to build more places to stay. The athletes would have to billlet at peoples homes, which could get confusing language wise, or stay in tiny little houses or hotels, that would have to suck! So many people would have to lose so much of their farmland and crops to make room for the new facilities. What would they do with their animals if there was no paddocks to keep them in, they can’t just kill them all, that just wouldn’t be fair to all the innocent sheep, cattle, pigs, dogs and many more animals.

In conclusion, we shouldn’t host the Olympics no matter what anyone thinks. New Zealand is just too small, the country doesn’t have enough money and there would be no room for the foreign people to stay. New Zealand SHOULD NOT host the Olympic Games!
