 Poster: A snowHead
|
Just back from a wedding in la Rosiere, via Annecy.
Checked the Annecy 2018 JO website but no mention of proposed venues.
Does anyone know if they are public knowledge, named in the bid or under consideration still?
Some, I suppose can be guessed at but would be intersted to find out

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

After some very amusing bickering about distances which I seem to remember was ultimately settled by the organisers driving to Morzine and Chamonix themselves, probably with a lot of swearing and smoking, there was then some concern about it being too spread out
As it currently stands:
Annecy to host the skating, curling, biathlon, cross-country skiing, ski jumping and Nordic combined (using the resorts of La Clusaz and Grand Bornand)
Chamonix to host the whole alpine skiing events (I imagine this would also involve the Kandahar run at Les Houches), as well as the ice hockey.
La Plagne to host the bobsleigh, luge and skeleton events.
As initially planned the events of the Paralympic Games would be held in Annecy
I think it's seen pretty much as the outsider though.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

I think Munich are the favourites and if they win this will be the first city to get the winter and summer olympics. I think it is a two horse race between Annecy and Munich

La Plagne is already seeing the benefit, the bob track has been completely re furbished and brought up to date with a new state of the art refrigeration system and track covers
