Hi guys,
Last minute plans to check off 2 items from my bucket list:
1. Watch the winter olympics
2. See the northern lights
Contemplating going for some ski jumping action, have always been fascinated! May put in a few hockey games. Short track speed skating and figure skating are a bit too expensive.
Is anyone here going to attend any ski jumping event? I am targeting Men's LH on the 14th and trying to plan my itinerary around it. Would it be worth it? Men's super team on the 16th is also an option but was hoping to leave for Tromso, Norway to chase the lights around that time too (hence preferring the event on the 14th).
Please let me know if you have any opinions. Thanks
An ISU World Championships would be a lot easier to host than an FIS World Championships.
The largest hurdle for host cities is whether or not they have a speed skating venue. The other disciplines can be held in generic large indoor arenas.
It's waaaay too expensive & inconvenient. Basically WOG minus the bobsleigh track & indoor arena for figure skating/hockey(which is the easy part of Olympic bid). Just won't happen anytime soon. Winter sports are too facility dependant and the entire alpine skiing requires a separate venue.
