The issue has less to do with the events but more to do with the locations picked.

The Olympics and World Cup are only not feasible because they decide to host the events in countries that it makes no sense.

Salt Lake, Vancouver, L.A., London were successful places because they had some of the necessary facilities, which made it easier to build the facilities that were needed at a smaller lift.

Same thing with hosting the World Cup in France (98) or Germany (06).

But when you start going to remote places like Sochi where you need to build everything from scratch. Or host a World Cup in Brazil and build a stadium in the rainforest then it becomes ridiculous and too expensive.

For two reasons: You have to build everything from scratch, and all the facilities and infrastructure is a waste because it isn't needed on a regular basis.

A place like England, Germany, could easily host the World Cup (or even Olympics) every 4 years because they have all the state of the art facilities already. Could even do it in the U.S. will all the state of the art football stadiums they have.

As Locke mentioned you could argue that everything that would get fixed with a Olympic bid could be argued that it needs to get done eventually anyways.
