International Monetary Fund Managing Director Christine Lagarde has backed the idea of returning the Olympic Games to a permanent home in Greece.
Asked during a forum at the Aspen Ideas Festival in Colorado earlier this week, the IMF chief said: “I believe it is a good idea that is out of the box.”
“If this could generate demand, something the economy needs, that would be excellent,” Lagarde said.
Should the Olympics continue being handed over to different countries every two years? Or is it finally time for it to settle down where it all began? On the one hand, I'm sure many people would miss the variety that comes with changing locales, but is it really worth the cost to construct all the infrastructure needed to host the Olympics? I don't know.
