The issues with the Olympics are a bit different.  Cities and countries are looking at the costs and realize that, for the most part, there&#x27;s no way for them to recoup the money they&#x27;d have to spend on the infrastructure.  Plus, at least in Norway, people were really unhappy with the demands of the IOC - among other things, there were silly demands such as a cocktail reception with the king, and a bunch of other perks that don&#x27;t sit well with people.
