Notice what is happening behind the scenes.

There were a total of only FIVE bidders for the 2024 and 2028 Olympics (combined). Paris and Los Angeles were the only ones left after the other three -- Rome, Budapest and Hamburg -- all withdrew their bids. And this was AFTER other cities like Boston started the process of preparing a bid but never even submitted one in the first place.

Four of the six cities that submitted bids for the 2026 Winter Olympics also withdrew before the selection vote -- including Calgary, which hosted the 1988 Winter Olympics and is perfectly suited to host this type of spectacle. They withdrew under political pressure because more and more voters in these First World countries have no interest in the disruption and the enormous cost to the taxpayers.
