Atlanta '96 and SLC '02, too.Den said:Well, Korea hosted games in 1988. I don't think the same country gets games easily so quickly, but it happened to Canada though.

I bet they could outskate everybody.Jazz said:I hope that whatever country get's it (looking like either South Korea or Austria) that they will take this time and invest more money into thier hockey program in order to make them more competitive from their current Div I status.
Austria has Tomas Vanek to built around
South Korea....I dunno, they are making all these medal-winning short-track speed skaters, why not give them a hockey stick...
Den said:But still, on paper Lillehammer is a host city. In Russia, outside of Siberia, there are mountains in the Urals (still too far) and in the South, and that's why they are going with Sochi in the South which is somewhat ridiculous since this is a subtropical city.

Huh? Edmonton and Calgary are in the same province(Alberta), but Winnipeg is in Manitoba.NightScout said:Why would anyone want to have the Olympics in the same city 3 times in a row?

The winter games have never been held in Russia or Sweden, I would love to see them go there. Östersund isn't bidding this time but if Sochi is, I would think they should be number one on the shortlist.
And I'm surprised to see a mistake of that magnitude on TSN's website. Siberia my bottom.
