I was wondering, since New Zealand's government is generating millions of dollars through film companies who choose to make their films here, could that money generated be used to create a possible Olympic Games bid, be it Summer or Winter? If New Zealand keeps generating revenue through this, tourism, and other outlets, surely they should consider taking a stab at building an infrastructure for a possible future games.
I think the climate and hospitality would put New Zealand in a good situation. Plus, the events would spread over a smaller radius (for the Winter Games; summer would span both islands), with the Olympic Village in Auckland or Christchurch (depending on which Games the NZOC wants to go for).
Mattygs, anyone else, your thoughts on this? They hosted the CG a few times...why not the Olympics?
