  Stop hosting them and set up a permanent Olympic village in Greece with international funding. Standardized facilities and courses.

    Or just have it rotate between all the countries that already have appropriate facilities because they’ve hosted in the past. Just change the rule so you aren’t even considered if you don’t have facilities at the time of applying.

      The problem is even the ones that have those facilities aren’t applying. They feel completely burned on the whole thing.

    It might not even need international funding through governments. With a permanently reoccurring event actual investment will come in.

  TL;DW : because it ends up being more expensive than the revenue it brings in. Has done for the past few. It’s no longer a good investment.
