Rio may be the last Olympic.

Unless changes are made.

They have become too expensive and too dangerous.

I think the only thing that can save them is to create a permanent Olympic venue preferably on an island with restrictive access.

Stay out of turd-world countries.

Stick with first world.

My vote is for Greenland...

One thing that we can be sure of that these Olympics will have in common with all the games of the last 50 years: The winning athletes in almost every event are cheating with steroids, stimulants and blood doping, all financed by their nations’ official Olympic organizations.

Brazil did a great job with the World Cup, but to host that and the Olympics within two years, in a country that has multiple issues to overcome, was not a good idea.

Choosing the host city so far in advance is a problem when it’s not in a first world country, and even then. Brazil was doing well 8 years ago but its recent romance with socialism, plus the Zikka mosquito, sent it down the gurgler fast.

They are going to have to spread the Games around different cities.
