They never are, the only one who profits from olympic games is the IOC. They don't even properly finance the athletes, of which many have to either find a sponsor or fund their participation on their own.
I certainly don't want any Olympics hosted in Germany in the future, let alone in my region (Hamburg's bid for 2024 was fortunately thwarted by a referendum)
