I like the idea of using Greece every year (like we used to). Their economy needs the support more than a country that get by on seedy banking practices.

- aikah 12y agoThe olympics basically ruined Greece.That's not a good idea,unless someone else pays for it. Olympics were a financial distaster for that country,olympic installations are basically roting today.
- seizethecheese 12y agoIt ruined then because the infrastructure was only used once.
- edias 12y agoThat's as much their fault as it is the Olympics, plenty of other places (mostly smaller cities) are thriving because of the jump start the Olympics gave them.
- snowwrestler 12y agoIf the same event was held there every 4 years, they could reuse much of the hard infrastructure and generate more return on not much more investment. That said, it will never happen because the IOC is effectively a PR firm at this point, they'll make much more money from a new country every 4 years than they will from Greece repeatedly.
