How Russia got the Olympics (and other events)

I was talking with a local the other day and we ended up discussing how Russia all of a sudden will be hosting a range of world sporting events such as...

2014 Olympics in Socchi
2016 Ice Hockey World Cup
2018 FIFA World Cup

I couldn't think of any events recently held in Russia and was asking if it was strange that now three very large events will be here in a span of 7 years.  Turns out there was a very simple explanation.  Many people in the international community are certain the world will be ending soon, whether through the Mayan prediction or the next rapture, etc. so these decision committees said....

'Screw it, we're all going to be dead anyways.  Let's give them to Russia.'
