The Vision Construction and Governance of the Legacy of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games against the Background of the Legacy Strategic Approach

The study looks at the discursive construction of the vision and the governance of the legacy of the Beijing Winter Olympic Games after the publication of the Legacy Strategic Approach by the IOC in 2018, by investigating the documents related to Olympic legacy issue from the IOC.The findings show that by means of constructing "flexible", "extensive" and "enduring" characteristics of Olympic legacy by the stakeholders, it extends the spatial-temporal horizon of the legacy and enriches the diversity of the legacy in its content and subject.Therefore it has fostered the necessity of legacy governance.That is, IOC and other management organizations must sort out the resource allocation, power distribution and transference in the Olympic legacy planning and inheritance.In the meanwhile, the Olympic legacy governance shows the characteristics of "governance locality" and "non-management of the OCOGs" in delivering legacy.
