it's getting harder and harder to find cities that want to host, especially winter
Exactly.

See my earlier post. The Greco-Roman wrestling coaches have to throw a stuffed Olympic mascot out onto the mat to issue a challenge, now that's funny.
Who the hell wants to go to Athens every four years?
The IOC should come up with a plan to rotate the games between a few select cities that can reasonably keep facilities maintained and utilized year after year. Neither Rio nor Sochi had any business hosting the Olympics. There are plenty of cities with the infrastructure to handle the Olympics on a recurring basis.
I don't really get the criticism, seems like the internet just complaining because it likes to complain. Every event could be streamed, tape delay is an obvious move for them (Like they aren't going to show the ladies gymnastics during primetime? People are upset because they already found out who won? Stay off the internet and social media, or watch it when it occurs - that's not NBC's fault), and of course they are going to focus on the events the Americans are best at. I can get some of the criticism for the presentation here and there, but that's pretty minor in my opinion.

2 each from Americas, Europe, Asia-Pacific. How would the CLT crowd feel about:
Los Angeles
Atlanta
London
Paris
Beijing
Tokyo

People are mad because gymnastics and some other events weren't on their tvs, live every night at 8 pm ET. Nothing NBC could do to make that happen.
All things considered, I think they did a good job making as many events as possible available live and showing tape for events that occurred during the work day that people would definitely want to see, even if on delay.
