I agree with that article…future Olympics should not try to top (outspend) Beijing. It was unique in that it had all the resourses of a huge nation at it’s disposal. The $$ output from China was buying (in their minds at least) legitimacy as a nation and an economic force in the world…the Olympics was China’s tool, China was not the IOC’s tool. I hope Britain doesn’t get sucked all the way into IOC’s megalomania
