Found this on Reddit, so not sure how accurate it is, but knowing the IOC and the ever so few countries willing to host, it could very well be true..

 

"Norway was planning a bid to host for 2022 but withdrew after public outcry as the ludicrous list of IOC's demands became public knowledge.

 

7000 pages with demands and specifications that they tried keeping secret. Among those were these demands:

 

  • Cocktail party with and paid for by the King or local delegation
  • Local clubs at all major arenas with outdoor balcony, restaurant and lounge
  • No non-affiliated brands (sponsors) are allowed to have their logo visible in any broadcast or the village
  • Private IOC lanes on the highway
  • Traffic lights adjusted to prioritize IOC members
  • Private systems at all relevant airports
  • All venues where IOC members are must have access to bars with free high quality liquor and food."

@Olympian1010 and I have been citing this when we joke about Bach and Agenda 2020 here.

Ha, I read that exact comment too.
 

I’m not sure how legit all of those are, but I believe those are close to the official and unofficial criteria.

But this isn't new at all....it's basically been public knowledge since forever :p 

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! Full story and how to help can be found here!

The Canadian Parliament has voted to label China's treatment of its minority Uighur population as a genocide (the Liberal cabinet, and prime minister did not vote). The motion also included "lobbying the IOC to move the 2022 Winter Olympics outside of China"

"Diplomatic boycott"

US athletes will go but no diplomats or government officials.

If you have to protest this seems a good way to do it.

Won't have an effect on the team.
