In 2004 the Australian Geography Teachers' Association (AGTA) produced a teaching resource based around the Athens Olympics. Sports Geography: The Athens Games is an excellent example of how geography can showcase itself in the context of world sporting events.
Sports Geography: The Athens Games includes four comprehensive units of work addressing the following key themes: travelling to Greece, getting around Athens and attending the Games; measuring success at the Olympics and understanding the medal tallies; assessing the sustainability of the Olympics as a mega sporting event; and evaluating values and attitudes in sport.
