More Olympic news: Salt Lake City will host the 2034 Winter Olympics.

They hosted before. I have a feeling we may see recent hosts be hosting again just because of facilities which is smart.

They were the only city being considered for the 2034 games.

From an article I read on ESPN:

"Salt Lake City was the lone contender the Olympic committee was considering for 2034. Climate change and high operational costs have reduced the number of cities willing and able to welcome the Winter Games."

So much waste can be seen from Sochi, Rio. Have the facilities already there. Even still lot of money goes into for not a lot of reward down the road.

Isn't that after the world ends from global warming...I mean climate change?

I'll be pulling for Jamaica in Bobsledding. I'd prefer alcohol over ganja however prior to attempting. i think I'd ride a bull b4 Bobsledding. i actually LIKE some Winter Olympic Games. Down Hill and those Long Jumps are cool.

I saw the IOC changed their criteria to start considering how many new permanent arenas had to be built into their number of considerations. Paris built 3. LA built none. Brisbane had 10 or so to build. It’ll be interesting to see how they do compared to Paris and LA.

Rio was just sad and puts a black eye on the Olympics. They don’t need anymore Olympics like that.

While we’re talking Olympics, NBC has been running this commercial for the Paris Olympics showing some kind of boats in a river loaded with athletes I presume. Each boat has a country’s flag on the stern. Every boat is headed for a gap under a stone bridge, except the US boat, it’s headed dead center for one of the bridges pilings and really close. It bugs the 17 out of me.

Say what you want but ski resorts worldwide are seeing a lot less snow than they used to. It’s not affecting the American west much. But European resorts are hurting.

And there were times when there was little to no snow in those areas. Climate does indeed change.

For Paris they are swimming in a river

A very polluted river. Yuck.

 

[mcdawg22]

Yeah the mayor was announcing she was swimming in it and people upstream had a website to tell them when to poop in the river to get it to float down to her while she was swimming.

It's funny the whole Salt Lake 2034 bid is still contingent on the Utah Governor pressuring the FBI to stop investigating a Chinese doping conspiracy.

 

[T-TownDawgg]

The irony.
Choosing a city based on climate change in a country that is, more than any other, being held responsible for and self-penalizing for climate change

I know what you're talking about, I saw it too, but I think its another boat and not a piling after watching it at least every other commercial since first of July
