Thailand will bid for the 2026 Youth Olympic Games: https://www.insidethegames.biz/articles/1094280/thailand-2026-youth-olympic-games-bid

 

They will join Colombia who already entered the race a while back, and most likely India and Russia who have also shown interest in bidding.

Mexico forfeits the chance of hosting the centennial edition of the Central American and Caribbean Games in 2026, as Leon retired its bid.

 

The one to blame is none other than that turd former Olympian Ana Guevara who snubbed the organizing committee, blatantly ignoring the request for support from the Federal government, which in part was due to the local authorities and the citizens are not on good terms with the President and its party.

So we have a winner then right? The games should be heading to Santo Domingo :DOM

2021 Jeux De La Francophonie and 2021 Junior Pan American Games are the last games standing by my count...

I wonder if these multi-sport games are going to see an decrease in the amount of cities that want to bid for them.  On the major scale, the Olympics are already seeing this, is the same thing happening on the more regional or single issue (Jeux De La Francophonie, Islamic Solidarity, etc) games?

    • Linn Gestblom (previously Persson) Will miss all season. Not recovered after surgery.
    • Greece and Portugal also have winter sports centres - but of course these are not homologated routes for World Cup competitions I have never been to Albania personally, so I don't know the country at all. I have been in southern Croatia, though, and there are mountains there but you definitely can't ski there (I was there in the summer, but it's also impossible in the winter). World cup taking place there only in Zagreb.    In general the case of Colturi and Kostelic is completely different: Colturi has no ties to Albania and Janica Kostelic was Croatian and didn't left their country even though at the beginning of her carrier (and also her brother Ivica) her father had to pay for everything and the federation's support was zero. This only changed later. I imagine that the Kostelic family had offers from other countries (Austria, Switzerland, Italy?) to compete for them, which were much richer (at the beginning of the 21st century Croatia was a very poor country and devastated by war). All the more respect for them because they were true Croatian patriots until the end. I can imagine the Colturi family in a similar situation... Her mother would probably negotiate with half of Alpine Europe for Lara to compete for them Which of course doesn't change the fact that the Italian federation completely gave a shit in this situation. They let such talent go in a situation where they hasn`t a single female athlete on the podium of the World Cup in slalom for a dozen or so years. In the giant slalom it's not much better either, only there the older athletes cloud the picture: Brignone and Bassino. However, behind these two there is absolutely nothing...
