Out of the air, and based on how bad BidCo has operated here, I don't think it's totally unreasonable but yeah, obviously a guess when we're talking about an estimate to begin with.
I don't really compare our bid with Russia or Brazil or other countries that have treated the games as a status symbol. We have 2 examples of games held on Canadian soil in the last few decades and both of those were a success. Our closest comparable would probably be the US and they've also hosted Olympics that are considered a success.
