After 70 years the Olympic Winter Games will return to Oslo in 2022!

[I]A page promoting a potential Oslo bid for the 24. Olympic Winter Games in 2022. Venues include: Holmenkollen, Tryvann/ Oslo Winter park, Norefjell, Lillehammer, Kvitfjell, Hunderfossen Bobsleigh course, Jordal Amfi, Snarøyarena Curling, Lørenhallen, Furuset Forum and Lillomarka Arena. [/B]

Anchorage would be nice, better than Reno even.

Although the city could use a new major arena and perhaps a proper major multi-purpose stadium, it simply couldn't justify now the hosting of the Olympics, even if many venues were temporary or with logical post Olympic use.

Also having A Sliding Track and Ski Jump in Whistler BC, Canada does not help either.

I think they're now simply a little too small for the games. But who knows?

How do you know? Have you even been to either city?

#1 - Anchorage is NOT interested nor is the USOC.

#2 - Same region already as Vancouver - the NW corner of the continent.

#3 - As proven in its previous runs, it is too far from the 48 states.

Lord David · November 8th, 2011, 09:05 AM

Hey, I did state that going for an Olympics now would be out of the question, even if it would be nice.

As for the previous runs, being too far from the 48 states meant nothing. Anchorage simply faced better bids from other cities.

It's essentially the seasons. The season differences won't make it work.

Also there's the technical side.

Santiago may have the slope and city factor, but NZ should rightfully host first.

dande · November 8th, 2011, 09:51 PM

I would like to see Sweden get it in 2022, it´s long over due. But first they have to apply.

It would be nice the first winter games in south hemisphere with Santiago, Chile.

Something on paper is TOTALLY, totally out of synch with real-life conditions on the ground...and the whole financing scheme that pays for a Winter Games.

Ain't gonna happen no matter how much you pine for it. The sheer mass of who make up the Winter Games live in the North and it is their schedule that the WOGs go by. 5 countries in the So. Hemisphere ain't going to upset 60-70 countries in the north.

I want to see winter sportnations like Germany or Sweden get it now. It's time for one of them i think. It would be a great atmosphere in those countries.

Oslo would be great at some point with easy access to everything. You could just take the subway to the skiing areas. But as a norwegian i just think 2022 would be to soon for Norway to host again and many people are against it at this point for various reasons.

dj4life · November 12th, 2011, 12:10 AM

I would love it to be held in Sweden!

buldoci · November 14th, 2011, 11:30 AM

What about Doha, Qatar? Middle East also should host Winter games!

Well, those robes and burkhas would look really flowing in the ski jump and biathlon events!! And the lady figure skaters would be totally hidden underneath their chadors!!
