Greece is the word

-

Maybe it is time to relocate the Olympic Games back to where they began, Greece.

A permanent Olympic city in Greece would do away with the scrambling of countries competing with each other to host the Games.

By relocating back to Greece, it would probably be a great relief to many countries who really can’t afford to hold them or are basically unsuitable or controvers­ial.

And Greece is already a tourist destinatio­n well located to receive visitors.

A permanent base for the Games would be better able to be policed.

For those who say Greece can’t afford to build an Olympic City, perhaps it could be funded by every country taking part in the Games.

Cheaper by far in the long run (pun not intended).

James Gregory, Parnell.
