New Zealand Will Never Host A Winter Olympics

Not only was Klap the chief executive of two versions of WGNZ, he has run 17 work championships or world cups in New Zealand involving sports including triathlon, water skiing and unicycling, and the New Zealand Herald reports he is an expert in the field.

Klap said, "a Winter Olympics bid is out of the question. We haven't got the infrastructure, the ski fields, the beds or the proximity between venues. The plus is we have quality snow when the rest of the world wants it. Yes, there are hundreds of fields better than ours...but not at this time of year".
