I honestly wonder why any country would want to host the Olympics. It costs an enormous amount of money, and I'm pretty sure that it's been found that the host country never really recoups that "investment"; instead the taxpayers fund the construction of a bunch of big facilities that are never used again. The world would be better off just having 2 permanent locations for the Olympics (summer and winter) and reusing them every time.
