I'm not sure why any country wants to host the Olympics? it never breaks even

It doesn't matter what the country wants--it matters what the politicians and corporations want.

Didn't Los Angeles in 84 break even, or even managed to turn a profit (at least they bragged about it at the time)

The U.S. and a couple other nations already have the infrastructure to handle an Olympics. Then the facilities get used long after the Olympics are over. But when a country like Brazil and Russia build shit just for the Olympics it makes for a negative impact on the system.
