No, in my point of view the Olympics made $120.5M in operating profit ($559M -$96M - $78.4M - $65.4M - $62.2M - $42.4M - $94.1M) and caused a capital infrastructure investment of $405.4M.
I do not have the information on whether or not we received a decent return on that investment since I don't have all their revenues, expenses, sustaining capital, and incremental economic activity generated over the years available. My gut tells me, however, that it was an incredibly profitable investment.
