I thought the data on the Olympic audience getting older was interesting, but not really conclusive. Would be interesting to find out if that is actually a trend across streaming and TV.

Re: Maybe we need to have more...
@mhhf1ve - Yes, in fact there are a lot of indoor events - weightlifting, judo, taekwondo etc. that could easily be done any time of the year. But as you say, it's an expensive hobby for a city. Also I think the Olympics are a bigger deal because they are only once every four years. 

The problem is also that viewership seems to be down across channels - it's not that people are just watching online rather than on TV, but that they are watching less.

Maybe we need to have more...
After they started doing the Winter and Summer Olympics offset by 2 years, I thought they were going to introduce Spring and Fall games, too. And they we could have some kind of Olympics every year, instead of every 2 years. 

Table Tennis doesn't need to be held in the Summer. And there are a bunch of other events that could be added. The problem might be finding venues -- given how some cities in the past haven't exactly benefitted from being hosts in the past.
