They have to rejig the Nordic events, like basically create new courses for the cross country races which would include seating and buildings. And while the jump facilities are good to go now, they expect to have a bunch of improvements to do in eight years. And also the athletes village is now occupied by residents so there would be some issues finding existing housing for athletes. And of course security. You know for sure if Calgary is paying they will make it as cushy as possible for themselves.
