Kronprinsen vil bremse OL-fråseri - Sport
As member of the IOC, Frederik has spoken out against the record-costs of the games in Sochi.
Actually so has the chairman of IOC, Thomas Bach.
Frederik says: "As conditions are today it is in the end the decision of the host country, how much money it will spend on the Olympics. I'm in no doubt that the athletic settings in Sochi will be unsurpassed. - We can take delight in that, but I do agree with members of the IOC who express concern over the vast amount of money the Russians have spend.
In the future I hope that IOC may be able to take ownership over some concepts, which will then be leased/rented to a new host-city, which then put/set it up and then IOC take it back after the games. That could (for example) be different arenas".
IOC have opened up for the idea of attaching conditions to hosting the olympics in the future, ensuring that the costs are kept down and that temporary venues are used instead as far as possible.
The spiralling costs have now led Stockholm and Munich/München to withdraw their bid for the winter-olympics in 2022.

Good for him in speaking out. I know he also spoke out about the discrimination of gays at the Olympic games and how it goes against the Olympic charter.
thanks
