Inversion is grammatical tool which is used to make emphasis or highlight a certain fact in a sentence. It
is typically (but not exclusively) used in formal language, e.g. public speeches, proposals, lectures, etc.
In inversion, the affirmative sentence (stating a fact) resembles a question:
"normal" sentence: I have never seen such a beautiful landscape.
(question: Have I seen such a beautiful landscape?)
inversion: Never have I seen such a beautiful landscape.

4. Olympic Games fact sheet
The Olympic Games take place over sixteen days. During
this time, over 10, 000 athletes and about 5, 100 officials
from 200 countries take part in 300 events in 28 different
sports. These athletes, officials and spectators are joined
by 15,000 media personnel providing various forms of
coverage for a wolrdwide audience of 3,5 billion. So,
with a total cost of over $2 billion, it is not surprising that
the Olympic Games are backed by some of the world's
leading financial and insurance companies as well as
technology and systems sponsors. Providing the
environment and resources for a successful Games takes
planning and management. Making the Games special
takes a special kind of magic. Can your city offer this?
