Wasn't the 1988 Olympics kind of a perfect storm for financial success? There were low construction costs in the 80s, it was just after the Olympics had embraced advertising dollars, and it was just before the crazy security cost increases. 1988 being a success means absolutely nothing in determining if 2026 would be a success.
