RobtheAggie 337 Posted August 4, 2022 #103 Share Posted August 4, 2022 Random news for the day that touches Biathlon. It appears that there is a very odd bidder for the 2029 Asian Winter Games. It is ... Saudia Arabia! The games would include biathlon, hence why I included it here. hckošice 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have money, you can have snow. There actually is a quite rocky mountainous area of Saudi Arabia, There was a pro bike race earlier this year.

The area they are trying to develop into a ski resort area is up in the Northwest of the country. If Lebanon can have a ski resort, so could Saudi Arabia. https://www.arabnews.com/node/1996866/saudi-arabia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There actually is a quite rocky mountainous area of Saudi Arabia, There was a pro bike race earlier this year. Isn't the Tour of Saudi Arabia quite a well-known thing in cycling already? Or am I confusing it with all those other oil states that want to use sports so other people don't look too much at what else they do? Curious if that will also lead to a bunch of FIS cross-country races like in Lebanon eventually, where other countries sort of decide what happens in terms of results (to get good FIS points), in return for helping Lebanon with having their own athletes score some easy FIS points. 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!

NaBUru38 204 Posted August 5, 2022 #108 Share Posted August 5, 2022 The 2022 Saudi Tour was part of the UCI Asia Tour. However it drew 8 WorldTeams. The Abu Dhabi Tour joined the WorldTour in 2017. In 2019 it merged with the Dubai Tour and became the UAE Tour. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
