What amazes me is how countries still want to host the games. They spend a fortune preparing for them and putting them on and they all say they will make it back in the long run because they can use the new facilities to host other events and the games will spark tourism, but it never seems to work out that way as it seems many of the places never make the money back. I was reading that with the Athens games many of the facilities they built have still never been used again and the 15 billion they spent putting the games was never earned back.
