Should the olympic games last longer?

Question

i think its over too quickly in 2 weeks

it should be 4 weeks, and include more sports

the world cup is 4 weeks

Answer 1

No, I love the olympics but 4 weeks is a little to much  

Answer 2

I agree. It would be more entertaining with 4 weeks. But what new sports would they introduce??

Answer 3

i think it should definately be longer too,our turn next to host lets hope it is as good as beijing

Answer 4

To be honest I couldn't care less. It's so boring.

Answer 5

there are already too many sports in their in my opinion.

they shouldnt have professional sports where sports people are paid really highly like football and baseball.  it should be just for amateur sports

Answer 6

I love the Olympics but if it was 4weeks a bit much and i wouldn't really be interested..

Answer 7

No.  

Answer 8

Definitely. Why consolidate it into 2 weeks? There's no rush. 4 - 6 weeks would be much better.

Answer 9

the olympics shouldn't last longer as they already cost too much money in my opinion as it is

Answer 10

I think a whole month would be nice. It's only every four years, so, we might as well get as much as we can.

Answer 11

Yes, it's too short but it was boring anyway, so I don't really care

Answer 12

i think so yes there was so many things going on at once it seemed as if they were cramming everything in,but that didn't stop me from enjoying in my opinion the greatest olympic event of all time

Answer 13

Sorry my answer is no, 2 weeks is long enough for me.

Answer 14

i agree, we have to wait four years! and they go by so fast. they try to jam pack so many events into 14 days, it's just not enough time.  

Answer 15

No, as many of the athletes would have to perhaps wait a very long between each of their events, hanging about does nothing for the athletes ability. You could see that in the athletics, many athletes were sitting around for hours and in some cases days when the events got bogged down in the weather. Plus you have to remember that they don't just compete in the Olympics but are structured events right through the year

Answer 16

Considering the amount of time and money invested in building stadiums and preparing for the game, yeah, 2 weeks certainly feels like it undermines the effort put into preparing for the game. And for a sports event that is held 4 years once, 2 weeks certainly feels like a rush through the entire event

More sports would certainly be better. And I think they can actually space out all the events too, this will allow viewers to watch more games

If you have like 5 or more games taking place at one time, you'll have to choose what you want to watch and you have to miss out on the rest

Answer 17

I think they have alot of games for there summer olympics.  I can't think of any other sport they would add.  2wks was enough.....

Answer 18

No.  It takes over my life for 16 days...I can't afford to give up 4 weeks nonstop to include more sports.  ;D

Answer 19

But perhaps if the games were longer they would be less significant.

Answer 20

YES! Personally I wish it would never end ^^;

Answer 21

4 weeks sounds like a plan to me.

the more sports that will get added over time i think will lead to a longer olympics.

Answer 22

Yes olympics game must last longer because they only have olympic game every 4 years.

Answer 23

Don't know what to add for sports?

The Paralympic Games is starting soon in Beijing.
