I think that countries are willing to spend billions of pounds to host the Olympic Games because it is good PR for their country, it also gives it a good image. It is a long tradition and people want to keep that going. It is also good for the economy of that country and brings in a bit of tourism as well as money. I think they are willing to spend billions because all in all it benefits their country and is a great tradition that has gone on for many years.
