One of my greatest passions is to organize sporting events, so I follow with great interest the movements of the various organizing committees for the Olympic summer and winter.
For the XXII Olympic Winter Games to be held in early 2014, are currently in the race three cities: Salzburg, Pyeongchang and Sochi.
Salzburg is currently my favorite and also enjoys support (for what it's worth, ie nothing ..) is definitely superior to its rivals such as history, culture and sports. It was given as a favorite for the 2010 Winter Games, but lost in the finals, where he had the better of Vancouver. Is measured by opponents difficult parts, but this time I think he more choices: the 2010 comes immediately after the organization of another European, Torino, that led the IOC members to vote one nation out of the Old Continent. Now, however, could again be the turn of Europe and Salzburg is in the front row.
Sochi (Russia) is a ski resort, recently built in the Urals and the Black Sea coast in 2007 to strengthen the application will open the center in Krasnaya Polyana, just 45 km from the city.
Pyeongchang (South Korea) is certainly the solution that I prefer not. I do not have a very bad memory of Nagano 1998, but it is a fact that Korea and Japan have a horrible climate. Each event would become a winter to be implemented because of frequent rains and resulting postponements of games. In 2010 he lost to Vancouver for only 4 votes ... what luck!
the choice will be made next July 7 in Guatemala City. Meanwhile, other candidates were eliminated:
-Almaty (KAZ)
-Borjomi (GEO)
-Jaca (SPA)
-Sofia (BUL)
Other cities were withdrawn: * Andorra
