Welcome Molly. Oslo was the preferred candidate city of the IOC for the 2022 Olympic Winter Games until the Norwegian government withdrew financial support, causing Oslo to withdraw its bid in 2014. Earlier in 2014, Krakow and Stockholm had also withdrawn their bids. The full story of the Oslo 2022 bid can be read in Wikipedia. After Oslo withdrew, the only candidate were Beijing and Almaty. Had Oslo not withdrawn, it is with near certainty that we would now be watching and talking about the Games coming from Norway.
