This is a map of how many times the Olympics games have been, or will be held in each country of the world.

Personally I would like to see Iceland tackle the challenge of infrastructure, I’m sure they would find elegant and minimalist solutions for each sport, without compromising their beautiful nature. It would be interesting to see athletes adapt to permanent daylight in summer. And cynically, it would expose the atrocious state of their housing market, and maybe prompt some change ?

    Just for clarification, the map is slightly wrong (or mislabelled) as it takes into account future events (e.g. LA 2028, SLC 2034, French Alps 2030, Milano 2026 and Brisbane 2032)

    Clarified, thanks OP!

      That’s on me, I badly described the map, Wikipedia’s description is better:
