Just Woo the IOC

Sputnik News

Countries that want to bid for the chance to host have to pay for the application fee first as well, which costs at least $150,000 which goes directly to the IOC. And that doesn’t even ensure you that you’ll get it, it’s just the chance to try. If you do get chosen, stadiums, sports arena, transportation systems and the infamous ‘Olympic Village’ must also be built to make sure that the games can actually push through. In the end, it’s really all about the money, so being able to woo the committee is truly all you need to get picked.
