A summer Olympics would be a better hosting option and hopefully would help push Canada into the top 8 (long term goal by the COC) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This in only a farce, like all the italian bid from Rome 2020. I really haven't word about that, how CONI accepted this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
