The Olympic Curse

Ever hear of the Olympic Curse? That's the one where whenever a one-party state hosts an Olympics, ten years later that state circles the drain if it's not already down it. To wit:
1936: Berlin Olympics / Garmisch-Partenkirchen Winter Olympics
1946: Allied Occupation
1980: Moscow Olympics
1990: Collapse of Communism
1984: Sarajevo Winter Olympics
1994: Yugoslav Civil War
2008: Beijing Olympics
2018: ?
Remember, you heard it here first.
