Any Europe cities showing interest in bid?

Barcelona, but their bid is a bit of a mess and it’s not clear it will get off the grounds. It’s also a bid with venues in three countries (  ) so hard to coordinate.

The city of Barcelona is not supporting the Games. The only ones supporting the bid right now are the Spanish NOC and the Pyrenees small towns, so it is quite difficult to take off given the circumstances. At this point the bid is just a political weapon to be used as leverage between political parties in Catalonia and Aragon.

 

And Madrid is preparing to bid for 2036...

A new savoy bid for 2030 was raised this autumn by the region's head. No news since, likely DOA

The Southern Alpes (Nice) also show some interest, but only from 2034.

Yeah, I heard gossip about Barcelona, but never heard it was something really going to happen. had some WC in alpine skiing, I think..? Freestyle and snowboard probably no problems, but what about ski jumping hills, XC tracks, biathlon range and bobsleigh track? Any near. And none in planning, I think.

But this damn politics.

 

Having Olympics in French Alps six years after Paris is still better than Salt Lake City two years after Los Angeles.

Six pages and we all know 2030 will be held in Salt Lake City Let's do away with the speculations.

And Bosnia also in Barcelona  bid?

"In fact, aware of the logistical constraints and the cost that could represent the development of specific facilities for which an optimal reconversion could not be guaranteed later, the Spanish Olympic Committee has thus little by little put forward the idea of an alliance with Sarajevo (Bosnia and Herzegovina) , whose recent history is linked to that of the Host City of the 1992 Games."

The Barcelona bid is so weird.
