The Olympics for the Olympics

I find it ironic that there is a competition to host the Olympics in your home country. I definitely see the benefits of the economic status that the Olympics brings, but I think that that is not what the Olympics are meant to mean to the world.
To me, the Olympics are meant to be a means by which different nations can build relations that can result in beneficial diplomatic results.
I understand that this viewpoint is naive, but I sincerely believe that the Olympics are meant to build peace, and the notion of having a contest to host them is slightly absurd.
Thanks for Reading!
