If the Olympics stopped, TV would happily broadcast the championships so they can get their advertising revenue. They will make celebrities’ out of their own needs just as they did with those individuals in the past.

In the end, the sports I personally find interesting - yachting, modern pentathlon, fencing, ISSF shooting - are never on TV anyway so no big to me either way.

The Olympics are like the World Cup. Why do both every four years?
