Coming up soon

A modest proposal:

I would like to propose that the Olympic committee take bids from countries interested in hosting a PERMANENT site for either Summer or Winter Olympics.

It is high time that ONE (or more) countries shoulder the burden for the build.  I can imagine the winter countries bidding fiercely.  

I think the Winter games should be located in Siberia.  Imagine taking the Olympic Siberian Express!!!!!

Of course the area will need tons of infrastructure.  This will be very good for the local population.  The international airport should also be very close to a stadium for ease of transport.  

The building contract will only grant 10% to the Russians thus ensuring that the job gets finished with a minimum of bribery and foot dragging. I figure that two or three Russia Oligarchs can finance the build out of pocket change.

I think the Summer games should go to Greece.  They desperately need the economic boost.  Of course Africa or India would do nicely.  In all cases the main game stadium should be integral with a very shiny new airport.

While we are at it, I propose that the Olympic committee begin the Olympic Channel.  There would be many sponsors. It would be wonderful to follow all events leading up to the once every four years event.   

There could be contests to design the mascot, design the torches, design the outerwear, the sports wear, this is a vast market. 

There could be a Miss and Mr and Trans Olympia Contest.  

Special Olympics would be folded into these games at the appropriate times.

International meets of all sports could be scheduled at these venues.  This would provide stable security.

The Olympic Airlines should be formed to provide adequate transport for all athletes.  Hence the need for a shiny new airport.

Olympic TV should offer Virtual Reality headsets for a better view of the games.  

Win! Win! For everybody..
