It's a mistake to think of the funding as all going to needed infrastructure upgrades. Much of it goes to expenses with no lasting benefits, like security, and to infrastructure that has very little or no utility after an Olympics, such as ski jumps.
There's a reason most democracies are no longer willing to bid on these things anymore.

What if the ski jumping events are held at Whistler? I know that's been discussed.
