    I understand smaller countries wanting to host the olympics to increase their tourism, public standing etc. a bit like the eurovision song contest. But why do we need it?

    Surely we have a lot of tourism and people know who we are already. It's unlikely we'll make any money from it, even with broadcasting, advertising etc.

    The figures being discussed for costs for the olympics are akin to the GDP of a small country, it's crazy!
