Senior Winter olympics is too much for the current economy, there is absolutely no sustainable plan to possibly host this. What is the source of this?

LDOG 2,199 Posted October 31, 2018 #312 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Also, hosting olympics to win no medals would be too sad, so I hope it's just some wacky rumor it's not possible to make elite athletes from ground zero in just 8 years. konig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wumo 2,796 Posted October 31, 2018 #314 Share Posted October 31, 2018 Calgary’s bid to host 2026 Olympic Winter Games will survive at least until November 13 plebiscite after City Councillors rejected a motion Wednesday to cancel plans and dissolve the bid corporation. The vote to approve the end of the bid lost 8-7. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
konig 1,298 Posted November 1, 2018 #315 Share Posted November 1, 2018 My god....i will be very satisfied with a YOG winter olympics......but this is TOO MUCH for our poor country. Our candidacy for this has less credibility than Maradona saying that he is "clean" of drugs. Sindo 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And before you know it, the same thing happens as in Brazil: huge investments in the run-up to the Olympics, even big investments in winter sports despite them hosting the Summer Olympics, and once the Olympics are gone....investments drop to below zero If you'd like to help our fellow Totallympics member Bruna Moura get to the 2026 Winter Olympics, after her car crash on the way to the 2022 Olympics, every tiny bit of help would be greatly appreciated!
