  I watched bloomberg interview on hosting olympics.

   

  the only olympics that earned a revenue is 1984 LA Olympics and all other olympics lost money. some cities dun want to host the olympics cos it just costs too much to host and not sustainable for their economy.

  Brazil will be one of the next emerging countries.

  Hopefully the FIFA World Cup in 2014 and Olympics in 2016 will help them along. Its time.
