That was how it seemed to me from the get-go. We'll see.... It would be tacky for them to announce too soon. The French must realize they're perceived as being arrogant. I expect them to lie low for a while and then milk their losses for all they're worth with their next Paris bid.

The problem actually is that is a clear cut between olympic tradition and the tradition to do business before thinking of olympic spirit.

Which is the best to follow ? Greece would not be near bankrupcy if they would have followed the olympic tradition and keep some money.

Some facts :

Germany wants to reduce significally from now to 2015 the public debt and the german government said they want tight rules to achieve it.

South Korea public debt is not really high, also many private invests will be involved.

France debt is high, however since the right-wing party in France know that the left-wing will win the 2012 presidential election, there could be an attempt to "give the baby" to socialist party and so in 2017 presidential election UMP party would be able to say that socialists "digged" public debt of France ! Finally the 2018 WOG in France would be able to be hosted by a president from right-wing party so... We say make 2 knocks with one rock.
