They already are a disaster, but as Sochi proved, you can still have the things with your host in complete disarray.

How are they a disaster ? They are going on withou a hitch, the opening ceremony was quite beautfull and well executed (while spending only 1/10th of the money spent by London). Competitions are going well, the atendance isn't spetacular but its nohing atrocious either, its a very alright Olympics so far.

Several of the buildings were rushed to completion resulting in a ton of problems with entire hotels just completely flooded. The accommadations for in the Athlete's village are completely unacceptable. I'm also not even mentioning the extremely obvious problems with Brazil itself with the Zika virus outbreak, polluted waters, and large civil unrest (where the olympic torch runners had stones pelted at them and the military was called in to keep locals in check).

There's literally a laundry list of problems that stem from corruption, poor management of funds and time, and plain incompetence. Almost every promise Brazil made to get the Olympics has been a lie.

I don't really care about the dolled up events like the Opening Ceremony. There's literally no way to botch that.
