In order to hold an Olympics, a city needs a certain amount of stability and wealth. This can only be guaranteed in North America, Europe and parts of Asia.

Well, the Ancient Greeks managed to hold Olympics before the Industrial revolution. Not quite that stable and wealthy a society, although it was stable and wealthy enough to be a legend to us.
