Men's Road Cycling UCI World Tour 2025 (Milano-Sanremo)

Mirra Andreeva wins back-to-back 1000 titles in Dubai & Indian Wells so the real hype should come soon. The days of her liking IG post with Putin birthday wishes are forgotten already

I can't tell about Sweden but with Norway Oslo/Holmenkollen would be the obvious choice but I've read many years ago already they won't bid for Winter OG no matter what. I can't really say what's the deal here. I know locals are fed up with the drunken parties around the area during World Cup events for a long time.

Even Norway & Sweden did not want to bid with all the nonsense, so we ended up with Sochi & Beijing.

What smaller countries ever hosted the Olympics though? Sarajevo 1984 is probably the last I can imagine and they would never host one in XXI century. The "grandiose" switch definitely happened in Winter Games, I'd never predict China hosting WOG even in early 00s. But the costs have driven many Summer OG candidates away, the bidding process is dead and IOC basically has to beg anyone to even come forward or else we'd have every Summer OG in the Middle East for a very long time.
