There's probably a window of time for host cities to start building things so that the buildings are done right before the games start. Otherwise you have to pay to maintain the structures for however long until the games start which would cost more money that the cities might not have. I feel like rio and sochi had a lot of shady things going on behind the scenes with the contractors that interfered with the preparation of the games. And I don't think rio was the best city to have the olympics. It's not a great place to begin with. There's a lot of poverty.

I think I like them better than 2012. Which were similar but the blazers buttoned up higher and the girls were in white skirts. And everyone wore berets
Here's the Closing Ceremony outfits:
My favorite of recent time is still the 2014 Winter Olympics Opening Ceremony sweaters
Probably because it's Polo and that's his style. I'm not too into the preppy look either, but with a Polo contract I've pretty much conceded how it's going to be each time. At least these look a little more American, in 2012 we looked straight up French (probably the berets)

I actually thought those 2014 sweaters were awful at first. But seeing them all together I was like YEP NEED.
Jury's still out for me on the medal stand attire. I'm happy that it's at least our colors and not gray like 2012. And more fitted. The jackets in 2012 swallowed the poor gymnast girls.
