The objective of this study is to identify and discuss the discursive constructions surrounding media operations in three official Olympic Bid Books: London 2012, Rio 2016 and Madrid 2020. A discourse analysis was conducted based on a comprehension of discourse that is attentive to the positionality of the sport authorities (those responsible for the elaboration of the Bid Books); their intended audience (the International Olympic Committee Executive members); and the circumstances under which the text was produced, circulated and communicated (a city’s candidature to the Olympic Games). In general, the analyzed discourses reflect a trend towards homogenization in the global media sport complex and reproduce the existing relations of reciprocity between sport organizations and media.
