      You could even have a guest host country for some of the games. Play most of the sports in the primary location, and have satellite location(s) for a handful of events. That would reduce the burden on smaller host countries and allow the Olympics to shine spotlights on other countries.

      That’s a really good idea.

      In the past, cities were clambering over wanting to host the Olympics because it would normally boost their revenue but recent years have shown so much more cost & trouble & local upheaval involved in building the venues.

      never forget the 2016 Apocalypse Olympics Apocalympics.
