In that case: go South Tyrol  (although I think IOC wouldn't like an outdoor rink)

I think that Italian government will never accept a South Tyrol bid... Probably it will be an economical flop because tourist will go in Austria and use Austrian infrastructures

the problem is always the same...local people don't want even hear about the Olympic Games in their Region...

it's a no brainer in any case...there's no chance that the Games out there would even be proposed...

Never say never, 2102 is also 'ever'

naaa...I don't think so...

South Tyrol is always full of foreign tourists...and they are always very happy about local infrastructures and how they perfectly work (as I always said, that's not Italy...luckily)...

if we think about Italy as the "Divina Commedia", South Tyrol is definitely Paradise, Trentino is Purgatory and all the rest of the Country is Hell (some places are more hellish than others, of course)...

I always pray God that preserves ST as it is right now...by far, the most beautiful place in our Country...

The problem is that in South Tyrol the citizens take care of the territory as if it were their home meanwhile in the rest of Italy it doesn't happen.

I live in Cava de'Tirreni, in the deep south of the country, very near the Costiera Amalfitana... My heart breaks when I see my territory being devastated

I think Lesotho and South Africa should have co-bid

And after all of the above, it would be rude to leave out Namibia.

Doesn't Lesotho have some of the best African ski resorts?

 

Yes, I just said "African" and "ski resort" in the same sentence, but it's not a joke.
