They need to follow the '84 LA model which was to use existing venues for pretty much everything. That one made $250 (USD) million in profit.
Montreal didnāt finish paying for Stade Olympique until 2006.
IOC and those cashed up national Olympic committees should pay for the Games, seeing as how they make the most money out of them. The cashed up international sports federations could also contribute, instead of paying outrageous salaries and other benefits (like free international first class travel and lodgings to events) to the mates they select between themselves on the Committees.

CGF chief executive Katie Sadleir, who is also on the board of the 2026 organising committee, told The Australian on Tuesday night (AEST) that āof course the Commonwealth Games will continueā. She claimed some other Australian states had already been in touch about hosting the event, while the organisation was getting āstrongā support from other Commonwealth nations
Is she saying that some Premiers been telling porkies to the media today?
