Rio de Janeiro! While Chicago will have to wait for their chance to bid for the 2020 Summer Games, a US city could make things interesting by throwing their hat in for the 2018 Winter Olympics. Any city would have to decide quickly as the deadline is October 15. A few US cities were considering bids, but the USOC decided to focus on Chicago's bid and delay a Winter Games bid until 2022, but anything can happen.
Cities that we know will bid for 2018 are Pyeongchang, South Korea, Munich, Germany, and Annecy, France with Harbin, China strongly considering and even beginning to build venues to strengthen a bid. We'll have to wait until July 6, 2011 to find out!
In more relevant news:
Whistler has enjoyed its first snowfall, white gold as they call it. The scenery is going to be beautiful. We are about 130 days from the first team's departure for Vancouver. A little over four months until people will be intentional about sharing and showing the love of Jesus with the volunteers, athletes and spectators attending the 2010 Winter Olympics.
