[edit] Potential bids

[edit] Asia

  • Kazakhstan Kazakhstan[2]

Kazakhstan considers to bid for the 2022 games, either in Almaty, the former capital, largest city, and financial centre, or divided between Almaty and Astana, the capital. [3] The Almaty alternative gives higher chance of winning, but the divided alternative is preferred by the government because of lower cost, since more arenas and hotels exist already.

Kazakhstan hosted the 2011 Asian Winter Games, which can be seen as preparation for hosting the Winter Olympic Games in 2022. The Asian Winter Games were divided between Astana and Almaty. On November 29, 2011, Almaty was chosen to host the 2017 Winter Universiade.[4]

[edit] Europe

On September 16, 2011 during the City of Split's manifestation Day of sports, architectural studio Produkcija 004 presented their vision of Split's future that includes project of hosting 2022 Winter Olympic Games. Ambitious project compares Split with Vancouver and Sochi as coastal cities with mountainous background.[5]

Jouko Purontakanen, the Secretary General of the Finland Olympic Committee, said Finland could host the games alone in Tahko, Kuopio, and Helsinki if the project for artificial heightening of the Tahko hill progresses.[6] Stefan Wallin, Finland's Minister for Culture and Sports, has also suggested that Finland should bid for the 2022 games with other Nordic countries.[6]

  • France France
The mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, is having exploratory discussions about a bid.[7] This would come after the failure by Nice to secure the French nomination for the 2018 Olympics.
Even before the bid of Annecy for the 2018 Winter Olympics failed, the mayor of Montauban, Brigitte Barèges, was advocating the candidacy of Toulouse.[8] This would be a joint bid with Andorra and Spain. Toulouse had previously lobbied the French NOC with a bid for the 2014 Summer Youth Olympics.

Munich bid to host the 2018 Winter Olympic Games but lost to Pyeongchang. The German Olympic Sports Federation decided at its board meeting on 13 July 2011 to investigate without time pressure the cicumstances under which a future Olympic bid is useful. A future bid will only be submitted if it has solid sportive, economical, political and social foundations.[9] However Munich's Olympic Park director Ralph Huber requested a few days later another bid to host the Winter Games in Munich.[10] In September 2011, Thomas Bach who chairs the German Olympic Sports Federation said that Munich will bid again for the Winter Olympics. He did not confirm a specific 2022 bid however.[11] During its 7th annual session on 3 December 2011 the German Olympic Sports Federation (DOSB) made a decision currently not to bid for the hosting of Olympic Games. However this decision is subject to change for the purpose of a bid as early as for the 2022 Olympic Winter Games. German Olympic Sports Federation (DOSB) will decide after all parameters have been carefully evaluated.[12][13]

Gerhard Heiberg, IOC member from Norway, has announced that the IOC would welcome a bid from Norway to host the Winter Olympic Games.[14] Lillehammer,[15] host of the 1994 Winter Olympics, is considered as host city as well as the area Stavanger-Bergen-Voss.[16] Lillehammer will host the 2016 Winter Youth Olympics. Inge Andersen, General Secretary of Norway's National Olympic Committee considers a Norwegian bid to host the 2026 Winter Olympics more realistic than such a one for the 2022 Games.[17]

During and after the successfully organized FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2011 the organizers at Oslo as well as the Norwegian Olympic Committee took in consideration a bid to host any Olympic Winter Games in Oslo in the future.[18][19] In October 2011 all the winter related sports federations of Norway decided to support the Olympic Games in Oslo.[20] The alpine events were originally planned to be in Hafjell (200 km from Oslo) and Kvitfjell (240 km from Oslo) both venues during the 1994 Winter Olympics hosted in Lillehammer. However FIS track designer Bernhard Russi has visited Norefjell (130 km from Oslo) already to find a suitable terrain for a new downhill track.[21] Norefjell hosted the Alpine events during the 1952 Winter Olympics in Oslo. In November 2011 it was stated that the city as well as Parliament were "positive" towards a potential 2022 bid.[22] In October 2011, Sverre Seeberg who heads the Norwegian Ski Association voiced his support for a potential bid. A recent poll shows that 58% of respondents supported bringing the games to Oslo.[23]

During a sportground opening ceremony, Polish President Lech Kaczyński announced on March 6, 2010 that he would like his country to be a candidate for 2022 Winter Olympic Games. A month later, on April 10, 2010, he died in a tragic plane crash, which killed 96 people including him, his wife, and the President of the Polish Olympic Committee. In their honor and memory, many Poles and members of the Polish Olympic Committee have advocated the proposed bid. In accordance with the late president's words, the country could organize Olympic Games together with Slovakia or both the Czech Republic and Slovakia. The Olympics would be most likely held in the winter sport resort Zakopane, that has already hosted many international winter sport events in the recent past such as winter Universiades, Biathlon World Championship, Nordic World Ski Championships, several Ski Jumping World Cups and Nordic combined and Nordic and Alpine European and World Cups. However its 2006 Winter Olympics bid as well as its 2013 and 2015 FIS Nordic World Ski Championships bids were unsuccessful.[24]

Romanian former Prime Minister Călin Popescu Tăriceanu announced on June 14, 2007 that the country is considering a bid for the Games to be held in that area.[25][26] The bid city would be Brașov.

The mayor of Barcelona, Jordi Hereu, announced on January 13, 2010 that the city aspires to organize the 2022 Winter Olympics. The opening, closing and medal ceremonies and indoor sports would be held in Barcelona, while outdoor sports would be held in ski resorts in the Pyrenees.[27] Barcelona plans to share the games with La Molina (155 km from Barcelona).[28] Barcelona hosted the 1992 Summer Olympics, and if it wins the 2022 Winter bid, it will be the first city to have hosted both a Summer and Winter Olympiad. An information sheet released by the Barcelona City council recommended a two cluster system for a potential Barcelona 2022 Olympic Winter Games bid.[29][30]

Östersund is interested in bidding for the games, but needs political and economical support. The government has not supported it since 2002, after 20 years of bidding without winning any applications in the second round and finishing as runner up, but in November 2010, the Minister for Sports, Lena Adelsohn Liljeroth expressed that the government could support an application. This would be the eight attempt of bidding since 1956.[31] Östersund stated January 2012 the city wants to go ahead, but the Swedish Olympic Committee is hesitant, seeing lack of accomodation to be the largest problem. Generally more financing is needed.[32]

  • Switzerland Switzerland

The intention to bid was approved in November 2010. On 24 January 2011 the Swiss Olympic Association, announced that five areas across Switzerland had shown interest in bidding to host the 2022 Winter Olympics:[33] Geneva, Valais, Graubünden, Lucerne/Central Switzerland and Berne. The Swiss Olympic Association received four bids by the March 31, 2011 deadline.[34]

The executive committee of the Swiss Olympic Association decided on 11 August 2011 to put forward a bid of the St.Moritz/Davos-area to host the 2022 Olympic Winter Games. The bid has to be approved by the Swiss Winter Sports Federations on 27 April 2012. Earlier it was announced that they intend working towards a "Swiss bid" profile that has support from all parts of the country.[35] St. Moritz/Davos presented a project that will host all events in the surrounding area of Davos and St. Moritz; generally speaking, "ice events" in Davos and "snow events" in St. Moritz. However, Davos has a hosting tradition in cross-country skiing and snowboard, and so one would expect Davos venues for those competitions. After the decision on 11 August 2011 a feasibility study for the games was announced including the possibility to extend ice events to Zurich. The organizers decided during a session on 22 December 2011 to go forward with "St. Moritz 2022" as the official corporate name of the bid.[36]
The city of Geneva officially supported the candidacy of neighbouring French city Annecy for the 2018 Winter Olympics,[37] despite those Games eventually being lost to Pyeongchang, and moved its own bid to the 2022 games.[38] Geneva's concept is said to be based around the city to host the ice sports events and some ski resorts in Valais like Crans-Montana and Col des Mosses to host the snow sports events.
Claude Koch, member of the Conseil d'Etat announced on December 12, 2010 that the canton Valais is interested in participating at talks to host the 2022 Olympic Winter Games in Switzerland.[39]
  • Berne (not among the potential candidates announced by Swiss Sports Minister Ueli Maurer but later announced as a potential candidate by Swiss Olympic)[33][40]) Berne bid to host the 2010 Winter Olympics that were finally hosted in Vancouver. During the 2010 Winter Olympics when warm temperatures harmed the games in Vancouver the plan to rebid appeared in Berne. Projectants questioned if Berne where plenty of snow was in mid-February 2010 would have been a better host to the 2010 Winter Olympics than Vancouver has been.[41] However Berne was announced as one of five potential candidates by the Swiss Olympic Association on January 24, 2011 even though it was earlier not considered as a potential candidate by the Swiss Federal Department of Sports.[40]

On May 27, 2010, President Viktor Yanukovych stated during a visit to Lviv that Ukraine "will start working on the official nomination of our country as the holder of the Winter Olympic Games in Carpathians".[42] Ukraine's only previous experience in hosting Olympic events was during the 1980 Summer Olympics hosted by Moscow, when, as part of the Soviet Union, several association football matches were held in Kiev.[42] On May 6, 2011 Ukraine's President Viktor Yanukovych confirmed Ukraine has submitted a bid to host the 2022 Winter Olympic Games.[43][44] The statement is premature however, as the bid process does not begin for another two years.

[edit] North America

  • United States United States
Several of these potential host cities had previously shown interest to host the 2018 Winter Olympics, but the USOC declined to bid, focusing on the unsuccessful Chicago 2016 Olympic bid instead.[45][46] In August 2011, the USOC confirmed that the US would not bid for the 2020 Summer Olympics[47] because they were unable to reach a new revenue sharing deal. As of September 2011, progress had been made in the talks, making a 2022 bid seem more possible.[48] While the USOC has stated that no bid will be made until a deal is reached, USOC chief Scott Blackmun stated that he was optimistic that a deal could be reached before the bidding deadline for the 2022 Winter Olympics.[49] As of January 2012, "Good Progress" had been made in the talks. [50] In November 2011 delegates from Denver and Reno/Lake Tahoe attended a seminar for future bidders at the IOC headquarter.[51] Olympic experts have stated that Mitt Romney, who headed the Organizing Committee for the 2002 Winter Olympics and is currently running for president could be a huge boost for a future US bid, should he become President. [52]


Denver was preparing a 2018 bid, but the USOC decided instead to focus its efforts on Chicago's 2016 Summer Olympics bid. "In the short term, it's discouraging. But our mission has been long term," said Robert Cohen, chairman of the Metro Denver Sports Commission board of directors. "This is like running a marathon. Every mile doesn't go the way you planned it. But I think we're doing all we need to do. I'm excited by what we've done. I'm more encouraged than discouraged." Denver won, but declined to host the 1976 Winter Olympics.[53] It was revealed in August 2011 that Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper and Denver Mayor Michael Hancock will discuss launching an exploration committee for a potential 2022 bid.[54] The proposal also has support from Senator Michael Bennet, who is co-chair of the Congressional Olympic and Paralympic Caucus.[55] A Denver 2022 exploratory committee was launched in December 2011.[56] Towards the end of September 2011, Denver contacted the USOC about putting forth a bid.[57] In October 2011, IOC President Jacques Rogge was at the USOC headquarters in Colorado Springs for the International Athletes Forum. At the event he was asked about Denver's interest in bidding. He highlighted the importance for any bid to have the support of the people and for the city to have the infrastructure.[58] The Denver 2022 exploratory committee estimates that hosting the games would cost $1.5 Billion. [59]
Officials from Reno & Tahoe have met to discuss the possibility of a joint bid between those two areas to have the 2022 Winter Games. "Our coalition's goal is to continue its concerted efforts to establish and enhance these tourism and recreational offerings, positioning our area to be even more competitive for the next possible Olympic opportunity – hosting the 2022 Olympic Winter Games.", said Nevada Lt. Gov. Brian Krolicki, chairman of the Reno Tahoe Winter Games Coalition Board of Directors.[60] The region hosted the 1960 Winter Olympics at the Squaw Valley Ski Resort. As of September 2011, the Reno-Tahoe games coalition took part in a workshop at USOC headquarters. It was mentioned that the games would not cost taxpayers and that some modifications to some venues would be needed. Other new venues would need to be built.[61] Nevada and California have a memorandum of understanding where they will work to seek the USOC's support for the bid.[62]
Salt Lake City—the host of the 2002 Winter Olympics—is considering a bid on the 2022 or future Winter Games.[63][64] The creation of an exploratory committee to consider a 2022 Olympic bid was announced on February 8, 2012, by Utah Governor Gary Herbert.[65] With most of the facilities needed already built (minus the new events that have been added) and improved transportation since 2002, Salt Lake City has significant advantages, and is thought to possibly be the USOC's first choice for a United States bid. In the decade after the 2002 games, Salt Lake City put into place approximately 1 billion dollars worth of new infrastructural that would be directly used by hosting a second Olympic games.[66] Salt Lake City would become one of the first cities to be awarded two Winter Games within 20 years. Innsbruck hosted two Winter Olympics only twelve years apart, however this was only because they offered to organize the 1976 Winter Olympics on short notice after Denver pulled out.

[edit] Cancelled bids

The former parts of the County of Tyrol Tyrol in Austria, South Tyrol and Trentino in Italy were considering a joint bid as the Euroregion Tyrol – South Tyrol – Trentino for the 2022 Olympics. The capital of Tyrol, Innsbruck, has already hosted Olympic Winter Games twice, in 1964 and 1976[68] as well as the 2012 Winter Youth Olympics. However the common legislative assembly of Tyrol, South Tyrol and Trentino rejected the proposal during its session on 30 March 2011.[69]

Quebec City initially expressed interest in bidding. In September 2011 Quebec City mayor Régis Labeaume ruled out bidding for 2022. However the city may bid for another Winter Games in the future.[70]

[edit] Broadcasting

South Korea's SBS is the first television network to secure the broadcasting deals for these Games.[73]
