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 ?

Thanks for posting! Curious about the downvotes

People just saw this without reading the post and thought the map was implying people wanted to host future olympics in France and the US, and not that France and the US had hosted the most olympics.

People downvote for the most trivial things on lemmy, and it gets kind of annoying, which is why I’ve disabled them.

I didn't think about this reading but now that you mention it i see how people would be mislead!
