This research systematically identifies the network of Olympic stakeholders as defined by the regulatory framework governing the Olympic Games. Through Social Network Analysis, it identifies primary stakeholders, maps their relationships, and assesses power dynamics across the network. Given the increasing importance of local support for the Games bidding, preparation and legacy, the positioning of local communities and public authorities relative to other dominant stakeholders is discussed, considering what this means for their capacity to represent public interests in the decision-making process and understand where local contexts are placed within the formalized structure that binds these stakeholders within the Olympic framework.
