They say a

country

's wealth is measured by the

sports

facilities it has.

This

proverb is not entirely wrong. According to some, organising international

sports

events

in a

country

is not good, while others feel that it is absolutely important. In

this

. Some people believe that

sports

events

are not that important, and for hosting

such

programs taxpayers' money is wasted. A huge fund is required for organising

such

extravaganza of lights, fireworks, trophies, stadiums, and accommodation for participants. If a

country

is financially weak to back up

this

huge cost, the common people of the

country

suffer a lot. Bangladesh,

for example

, organised the Commonwealth Games

last

year, after which the

economy

of the

country

faced a topsy-turvy situation.

Thus

some people feel that affording these kinds of heavy expenditure are not wise for nations with
