Abstract：With all kinds of sports become more and more popular, sports have played an more important role in promoting the process of globalization. Taking the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games and the 2020 Tokyo Olympic Games as the subjects of this study, we investigate the inter-city connections and the world city network formed by them. The results show that: 1) Europe and Asia are the core regions in the process of organising and hosting the Olympic Games, with Europe dominant the affairs of power competition and the continent where the host city is located in has become the most important region for sponsorship and publicity activities, also, a 'triple-polarization' trend were occurred in the affairs of sponsorship activities due to the economic differences between continents; 2) The city nodes and city connections are hierarchical, among which, a five-tier network structure were constructed, and the high-level city nodes include the headquarters of various federations, the cities with top sponsors and broadcasters, and the host cities, while high-level inter-city connections mostly occur between core city nodes in Europe, Asia and North America; 3) Regional city clusters were widely distributed, generally, city clusters were always formatted in specific continents with a few specialized central cities as the core. 4) Despite the impact of the covid-19 epidemic, the host city was still able to enhance the Olympic games' and its own influence by exploring additional individual sports, seeking sponsors and acquiring regional broadcast rights.
