France's Olympic committee yesterday chose Annecy as its candidate for the 2018 Winter Olympic Games. Other cities that have announced bids or interest in 2018 are Pyeongchang, South Korea; Munich, Germany; and Almaty, Kazahkstan. The International Olympic Committee will pick the 2018 host city in 2011.
...Annecy had a well-developed proposal that includes skiing in three major ski areas nearby, including the slopes of Mont Blanc, which hosted the world's first Winter Games in Chamonix in 1924.
