I think that we will begin to see a progressive change in the way the IOC conducts business over the course of the next decade. Several potential host cities have pulled their bids because of IOC corruption in recent years, and the controversies that have lingered over the Sochi Olympics and the Rio games are likely to force the governing body to recognise that the current model is unsustainable.
I would not expect the city of Calgary to make a bid unless they are comfortable with the commitment from the IOC.
