Beijing will host the 2022 Winter Olympics, the news is from Friday morning.
So we all are very sad for Ugine, which was not a real candidate, and for Dubaï, which could have been as logical as the chinese capital where the Summer Olympics has been not so long ago. An historic double (summer + winter Olympics in the same city) that affirm the international importance of the CRP.
Against Beijing was Almaty (yes, there is always one unknown original that use it to advertise for tourist attraction) about "humans sized" Olympics (hey, like Ugine!) an REAL SNOW because Beijing should produce articificial snow... exactly like it could have been in my proposal for DubaÏ 2022, so it's was not an insanity when you see how Olympics Comity works!
China is not famous as a winter nation but there are more and more winter resorts and I know the french skiing school offered training period to prepare its monitors to welcome chinese tourists, so there is an economical coherence in this choice. And more, it seems that the problems in the organization of Rio 2016 could help big countries (autoritarian?) which will make what they need to respect the schedules...
Although Kazakhstan does not seem to be an example in the collaborative democraty, but the city seems really nice right at the bottom of the mountains. Did you know that the modern apple should be originated fron this region? It's an argument, isn't it?
