The Development of the Olympic Games Based on TOPSIS-EWM and LSTM Models

Abstract

Facing the declining interest in hosting the Olympic Games, this study proposes two innovative solutions and develops evaluation models to assess their feasibility.

The first solution suggests replacing the traditional format with four smaller, seasonal events. Analysis identifies Canada as most suitable for winter, Great Britain for summer, and China and Spain for spring and autumn editions. The second solution recommends establishing two permanent host sites. Evaluation of candidate countries—China, France, and Canada—through predictive modeling shows China with the strongest potential for long-term hosting. Further research forecasts the multidimensional impact on host cities and outlines strategic implementation steps. The findings are summarized in a policy memorandum submitted to the International Olympic Committee to support the sustainable future of the Games.
