I think the problem is how excessive the organizers make it. I saw yesterday they had fences along the entire 200km bike rice.... Does that happen anywhere else? The riders participate in much smaller events with no fences... So there's an example of a gross exaggerance that wasn't really necessary. But they want to go all the way with security, for whatever reason. They make it more expensive than it needs to be.
I think a country needs to win the games and then go full frugal budget with it, to make a statement that it's supposed to be about the athletes and the competition, not a show of power, luxury and vanity to the world.
