For reals there is not qualification for an Asian?? :o THAT'S UNFAIR hahaha :lol:

Why? All the confederations have different ways to decide on their qualifiers. Nothing is cut-&-dried in the world, even more so in sports.

@intoronto... Further, the Asians are the quadrennial of what? some 3.5 billion people in the world; half the planet. The PanAms represent only like 850-900 million people -- about 1/7th of the world. So how can the latter even come close to the former in that regard?

/\ Oh please, 747. :lol: :lol:

2 years? Well, who was in power for the previous 8 years?

If you expect things to fix themselves in 2 years' time, then I have a bridge in Hoboken to sell you

Don't insult people's intelligence. I am sure people can read in between the lines and connect the dots on their own.

So some bids don't have a website with no information yet? Each country has a different manner of selecting their candidates

Oslo has publically achieved the support of all Norwegian winter sport federations as of October 2011. The Norwegian parliament as of November 2011 acknowledged positive support towards a proposed Oslo bid. Recent polls have 58% in favour of the games all the rest are either yet undecided or no, so a 58% in favour is high. They've had Russi check out the Norefjell mountain to design a suitable course for the mens downhill. Sounds far more real than Reno's hypothetical bid.

As for Saint Moritz "the organizers have put forward St Moritz 2022" as the offical corporate name of the bid, and have already passed the first stage of being the official Swiss bid, which is far further along than the Reno site in getting offical support.

Oslo and St Moritz can only be perceived as massively superior in terms of style and sophistication over anything Reno could offer.

Please don't let the facts get in the way of your rabid support for the Reno bid that the will make 1996 look like the paragon of restraint.

I WASN'T TALKING or REFUTING the EUro bids. I was merely referring to your FORMULATING the Lake Placid bid which, like Lord David, seem to be the posters' own shuffling of their deck of cards...because we here certainly haven't heard ANY rumblings of a Lake Placid bid. That was what I was referring to.

As for surveys, I was also just referring JUST to Denver. Whatever happens on your side of the pond, happens. I am in no position to question them.

BTW, last I remember, the provincial hick city of PyeongChang, Korea, beat the old-world sophisticated cities of Munich and Annecy in ONE VOTE, 63 - 25 - 7. You were saying about "style and sophistication"?
