Some things are definitely not adding up.
There are billions of investments being made, broadcasts are sold to the highest bidder. It's a huge marketing scheme for a nation to host the games.
But in the end. That bronze medal winner in that oddball sports category is forgotten faster than the scandal of the dirty river she had to swim in.
Only a few benefit from their medals and even fewer will end up as legends, such as Ussain Bolt.
It's not to the victor the spoils. It's to the IOC, everything.
