Hosting the Olympics is not profitable for the cities. They always lose more money that what they get. They lose a lot of money on building athletic facilities, compaining for the games, providing security and constructing new transportation networks. To get this amount of money they put more taxes, pouring the people and the city. Also the Olympics are more about nationalistic one-upsmanship between the largest and richest countries in the world than about global unity. That´s why sometimes it can produce fights between the powerful cities.
