And I don't believe I said you did or didn't either. Mine was a general comment.

To your specific comments, I don't know the actual costings but I'm sure that "corporate BS" (whatever that was supposed to mean) has actually paid for most of the costs. Happy to be corrected though

Also, to your comment about the cost now the country's financial situation has changed somewhat. Exactly what were we supposed to do/say? "Really sorry and all that, but there won't be any Olympic Games this summer as we can't afford it!". Yes, I'm sure that would have gone down well with everyone
