It would never happen, but it might be nice to have two sites for all future Olympics — perhaps one in Greece, perhaps one in Canada or Norway or someplace.
Build it once. Build it well.
Countries that participate every 4 years pay a fee to maintain the sites on a continuing basis.
In between Olympics, the sites can be used for training and/or recreation.
Make it on-going, self-sustaining, and consistent. Summer and Winter, no one will get stuck with a $20B white elephant every few years.
I have heard this idea before. It makes a lot of sense, considering the high price of playing host to an Olympics Contest. Brazil’s citizens were openly furious with it’s own government, lavishing billions of dollars on games and parades that don’t even operate very long. This while the people were largely out of work. This while thousands of orphaned child-gangs continue to roam the streets and commit crimes. This during the summer of Zika.
“Build it once. Build it well.”
This is a great idea. The Olympics are no longer about athletes but about money & power. We could probably add sex into the mix.
