    Probably it wouldn't be rotating cities, it would just stay in one or two and some sports would be downsized or even cut (equestrian and other very expensive sports) the pomp and circumstance will be reduced and it will be longer so not all athletes need to stay in the village at once, so the village can be smaller.

      I have long contended the Olympics should ALWAYS be held on the same small island in the Aegean every 4 years

      and the athletes should be nude

        If the Olympics is gonna be held in one place every time, then Greece is the obvious answer.

        On the other hand, somewhere with a cooler climate would be more sensible.

    Don't bother reading the article because this is how it ends

    As we co-create a new/old system, a pluriverse of alternatives, what do we want to keep — and what will we leave behind? What might a post-growth Olympic Games look like?

      You're thinking about this the wrong way. If you ran the Olympics continuously for four years, you wouldn't see another Olympics in a generation or two.

    It would just be the Olympics, but you don't build new villages...or do what China did and revitalize old mining/industrial districts in a way that they can be used after the games too

    sorry im gonna be a lame non-link clicker but wouldn't it be cool if we didn't have anything like the olympics and just had independent teams of sports and fitness enthusiasts organizing competitions by the principal of freedom of association :unsmith:
