In some bigger cities, I don't think people really realize these structures were built for the Olympics.

If the Russian government continues to pump money into it and makes their national teams train in Sochi and just sort of prop it up as a point of pride, then perhaps. But I don't think anybody living there was begging for multiple 40,000-seat venues to be plopped down in the city.

Beijing is an example of [families were displaced for the Olympics]. Something like 10,000 families were moved out.

Every city and country just has a different reason for wanting to host the [Olympic] games.

We were talking to shop owners or ordinary people who were living in these buildings now. A lot of the Olympic Villages were turned into housing.
