First thing that needs to happen to fix the Olympics is to jail the IOC. Then make Athens the permanent summer venue and a Scandinavian city the winter venue. Last, remove all professional team players from all sports. It is a failed experiment that has poisoned the competitions in those sports, especially basketball.

Athens would probably be a poor choice, but it’s the only one that nobody could really object to, as being the site of the first Modern Games, and at least in the same country as the site of the Ancient Games.

For the Winter Games, I really liked Lillehammer. Innsbruck was where they went back to when Denver dropped out at the last minute, so it seems like kind of a default site, but you could probably depend on snow in Lillehammer for longer as global warming continues.

Sarajevo would be nice, just because it would irritate the Serbs—and that’s always a good thing.
