Huh? Look at the event list/venue list, a LOT of the events are indoors. The new olympic stadium could be built similar to the new Tampa Bay Rays stadium w/ a retractable shade sales and other cooling features. It was in the mid 80s in Beijing and athletes had to breath thick smog, Im sure they'd do A-OK here.

Neither were Atlanta or SLC before their Olympics (you may say they still aren't)
