While what you're saying is generally speaking true, in this the Beijing olympics in 2022 are probably more like an example of how things should be done, as many events are taking place in either existing or renovated arenas. For example ice hockey will be played in two multi-purpose arenas that were built for the 2008 olympics, and both of those have been in active use ever since, and mostly for sports that are actually really popular in China like basketball, volleyball and gymnastics.
