In order to host the olympic games, you have to send in an application (It is very competitive to host the olympics). It also costs lots of money to have the appropriate stadiums build and accommodations for all the athletes, workers, and the fans to stay in. And I would think Africa has its own issues they're dealing with so unless your an olympic athlete, the people there have much bigger things to worry about.
How much money do Olympic track and field athletes earn for setting a world record?
A lot of money, so much that they should donate some of their winnings to people that have very little.
They definitely do because they're famous!!
they have to pay lots of money
The Olympic Committee awards its athletes, $25,000 for gold, $15,000 for silver and $10,000 for bronze. The athletes still have to pay taxes on whatever money they win.
It is not a waste of money because countries are able to showcase their athletes Also, it gives a country something to be proud of, and it is a huge thing for athletes.

Olympic sports contenders are not paid for the competition. Until the 1970s, Olympic athletes had to be amateur, not paid athletes. However, some countries' athletes practiced full time; others were very limited as to who could sponsor their living and coaching expenses.
Most Olympic athletes do not get paid for winning at the Olympics. Many of the countries will pay the travel expenses of the athletes. Most athletes are sponsored and will receive bonus money from the sponsors for doing well or medaling at the Olympics. For more information, please refer to the related link.
Many nations pay their athletes for winning a medal, but the US does not. In the US, many athletes earn money from product sponsorship such as energy bars, drinks, bicycle manufacturers, etc.
