Reply to comment by CharToll in Mexico hopes to host Summer Olympics in 2036 or 2040. by PrincessBananas85
Yeah it’s just what the Mexican people needed! Something that is a huge waste of government money! Also, it’s gonna be amazing for the athletes, at over two kilometers or seven thousand feet above sea level.

I'd be curious if it'd improve the long jump and some other games. Obviously it'd hinder most, but I'd still be curious as to the effects

Well the Olympic long jump record is still from Mexico City in 1968 and has only been beaten once since. His jump in 1968 beat the existing world record by almost 2 feet.

Well considering that the games are pretty much always a net loss for the host country, I actually am.
