The idea that the winter games could be held in the same (but different) cities in a kind of circuit sounds nice and all, but I don't really buy the idea that the things that get built for the 2026 games are going to still be usable for the next time we're up. Even if there were only 7 cities in this Olympic circuit, it'd be 28 years between hostings. A lot changes in 28 years in sports. New sports emerge, other ones die, technology in equipment advances pretty fast, etc. The ski jumps and the arena being obsolete in the span of 38 years is something to consider, as they are two of the most expensive costs to hosting.
That whole angle really sounds like a car salesman trying to sell me a really expensive car, from a questionable brand, and telling me the car is so great that my unborn children will still be able to use it.
