Abstract

In this paper we seek to outline some critical reflections on the theme of "legacy" on sports and the way that this idea has been launched and is reflected in the Brazilian social space. More precisely, we propose to evaluate, on a preliminary basis and without the temptation of prophecy, some of the social dimensions (translated under the term "legacy") inherent in the context of achieving these sporting mega events in Brazil.
