>>Are there any recent examples of the costs of hosting an Olympics paying very clear dividends over time Getting quality trained human resources is the biggest dividend. Use the facilities to train top quality athletes, or you have to get them from other countries. Even in other projects. Like say space projects, one of the biggest goals of any big budget project is to train human resources. It takes billions to produce rocket scientists, 400m gold medal swimmers. There are more than ethical reasons why they put ejector seats in fighter planes. Training human resources and producing the right people for the job is an expensive enterprise, replacing them is even more expensive and harder.
