"The Olympics are the biggest and most prestigious sporting event on the
planet. Every four years, even people with no real interest in sports take some
time to marvel at the accomplishments of the world's greatest athletes all
gathered together.
Yet for all the glamor and glory of the Olympics, their future is seriously in
doubt. The 2032 Games were awarded to Brisbane, Australia's 3rd biggest city,
after it was the only place to submit a bid. Voters in potential host cities
like Hamburg and Budapest have rejected the possibility of welcoming the games
in referendums.
It seems possible that in our lifetime, the Olympics as we know it will fade
away — and the more you think about it, the more it makes sense. The Olympics
can be a cruel mistress, overpromising and underdelivering."
