To be fair, the competition seems to have massively emphasised the architecture of sporting facilities. 25 of the 28 medals were awarded for what are definitely sporting facilities, and the other 3 - a bullfight arena and two municipal parks - are at least in adjacent areas. If that's the emphasis of the competition, it's not too surprising that the Olympic stadium or Olympic Village would do well, even with completely objective judges.
