In this Jan. 31, 2017 photo, Sidney Levy, chief executive officer of the Rio organizing committee, gives an interview in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Levy tried to run the committee with only private money, and almost succeeded. His $3 billion operating budget _ the budget for running the games and not building things _ was frugal by Olympic standards.

"I'm going to write a book and tell everything," he joked. (AP Photo/Silvia Izquierdo)
