@Torunn saidIm pretty sure advertising revenue covers the expenses. So the Olympic committee does not really spend a dime. Who is going to convince the big businesses to give away their money to the needy instead of advertising in the Olympic games?
I'm sad to see so much money spent on things that could, I guess, be arranged with less. However, hotels, restaurants and other facilities - from the biggest to the smallest - benefit from these events and that is a good thing, no doubt. I am, as you can read, ambiguous, but disturbed.

@Torunn saidI would disagree. Big businesses are essential for prosperity. Any country that do not have them cannot prosper. There is a something fundamentally wrong with governments that cannot control big businesses and use big businesses for the benefit of the people.

@happy-chappy saidWould you say a happy ending has occured? For the Games as such, for the winners, how about unfortunate losers?
I'm thinking that they may not reach a happy ending.
@Ponderable saidVery happy to be proven wrong.
