Medaura:

Where are you getting this fallacious notion that host cities get money by hosting the Olympics.

This is a proven misperception. The Olympics are a money drain. This is the bottom line. Host cities want the olympics in order to “show off” their city - and that’s it. It’s about pride and galmour, but not substance.

Olympics = economic drain. That is the bottom line.
