Aside from the lack of public support (ask Brazil about the World Cup and Olympic projects), the IOC laid out a list of ridiculous demands as part of what would’ve been Oslo’s bid.

First, the IOC wanted to meet the king prior to the opening ceremony. Next it wanted never-ending drinks payable to the royal family or the Norwegian Olympic Committee.

Okay, well yeah, I guess. VG mined the 7,000+ pages of requirements from the IOC, and most pertained to security. The following do not.

Car and drivers for all IOC members.

Diverted and prioritized Olympic traffic

Dedicated Olympic traffic lanes, not to be used by regular people

"IOC members will be received with a smile on arrival at hotel"

Hotel bars must be open “extra late” and can only serve Coca-Cola products

All conference rooms must be kept at exactly 68 degrees

“All furniture should be OL-shaped and have Olympic Appearance”

Finally, the IOC “proposes the closure of schools, and the local people are encouraged to take vacations.”
