**I’ve always thought we should just have it in ONE place so everybody doesn’t have to build all the expensive venues. Maybe we should have it in GREECE! A great tourist spot & they could actually use an economic boost & some cash these days.**

Or have the games spread out around the world with countries hosting events that are unique to their country, where facilities are already in place. Have them all during the same two week window.

Baseball? US or Japan.
Track and Field? Toss that to Greece.
Soccer? Prelims could be held most anyplace in Europe and then fall in on a larger stadium
Taekwondo? Korea
Tennis? Rotate around the Grand Slam venues.

Face it, tons of Olympic sports don’t require a large stadium anyway. Fencing, shooting and Archery come to mind.

shooting

Host the shooting events in a country that doesn't hate guns. We could have some real long-range, high power events.
