How much did it cost the US to send all the athletes to the games? Gotta be millions, yes? Over $100 million? Gotta be a shitload. The host nation often gets fucked the most. Hopefully we dont have one here for a long time.

All I could find after a semi exhaustive google search on my end is “the US runs an extensive winter training program with millions of dollars spent every year to train top athletes just for this occasion. The US Olympic committee took in more than $300 million in 2016 alone, with a big chunk of that used to train elite athletes. “
Every 4 years, so let’s say $1.2 billion. Big chunk - let’s be conservative and say 51%. That’s $612 million for training, minimum.
23 medals total. So that’s $26.6 million per medal.
Hardly seems worth it.
