dcro 10,179 Posted November 28, 2018 #371 Share Posted November 28, 2018 Both logos are awful to be honest. At least these are only the candidature logos, so hopefully the official ones will be more inspired. #banbestmen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And I hope OG alpine skiing is finally held at a proper alpine skiing resort. Enough with this artificial snow & slopes crap. I can't even imagine how bad Beijing will look like.

I need to read all the 127 pages of the document to answer your question more properly, but here are a few quick thoughts: as I wrote in the past, I'm pretty much divided between the pride of being a citizen of Milan and the scare of what another Olympic party would mean for the Italian economy and above all for the Italian wintersports (the shame of 1 and 0 gold medals in the 2 Games following Torino 2006)... about the 2026 Olympics, my fear it that they already said that some things may change after we get the Games (one safe bet: the new multi-purpose arena in Milan won't be built and the Hockey tournament flies to Turin, as rumors of the Olympic city from 2006 still getting something despite all the shameful chaos created in the past months by mayor Appendino and the majority of the city coucil have already started)... the other venues to me are more than OK...they are all well established World Cup/World Championships locations and courses...and some of them are among the most demanding and spectacular in the world...so, probably under a strictly technical point of view, if it's going to happen, Milano-Cortina 2026 would feature the best competitions ever (and it will offer the audience some of the most amazing and breath-taking landscapes also)... the finacial part is what I call a "cheat"... basically they say that almost all the venues are already there (but they don't say that their "renovation works" are probably a full rebuilding and they also underestimate the costs of those works or, in some cases, they don't keep any relation to the same kind of works and the Olympics, as they say that most of them are already planned or underway in any case) and the most expensive new one (the new multi-purpose arena in Milan) is...well, they just say it will be built in any case (even if we don't get the Olympics) by private investors... so, I'm really divided...my heart is for Milano-Cortina (and I'm sure it will be a great Olympic edition), my mind is to stay away from it like pestis...

Skijumpingmaster 54 Posted January 23, 2019 #376 Share Posted January 23, 2019 (edited) Norway is considering to apply for 2030 olympics . The counties of Trøndelag , Telemark , Oppland and Hordaland wants have the olympics . Rogaland might also join. If they get the government and stuff on board then Norway might apply. It will be a decentralized game with the events spread out on the various counties. It was mentioned having cross country in Trondheim , alpine skiing on Lillehammer , ice sports in Bergen and freestyle events on Voss. There's also talk of including a ski flying event in Vikersund. IOC member Gerhard Heiberg said that in the future host nations might include new events that fits with that nation's games . Int that case Norway might include Telemark , ski orientering , bandy and dog sled racing. Lillehammer wanted to apply for 2026 games , but it didn't get support.

intoronto 4,201 Posted January 23, 2019 #378 Share Posted January 23, 2019 If Sweden wins in 2026, highly unlikely the IOC chooses Norway for 2030 (and that is if they survive till the vote). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
