There's a very long list of specific criteria: venues for the modern olympic sports; local transit; hotel rooms; airports; telecommunications; security. The ancient Greeks weren't concerned with any of this.

Local transit was unnecessary as Athletes stayed within walking distance at their city's thesaurion, which functioned as permanent "hotels". No-one was going far enough for air travel to be practical (okay, I know it wasn't invented yet...), and who needs telecommunications or security, when you're civilised?
