The gouverment says YES to Olympic games 2026 in Stockholm/Åre. They support this bid. https://www.aftonbladet.se/sportbladet/a/QoJvGJ/regeringen-sager-ja-till-vinter-os-2026

Expressen write SOC haven't given up the hope to get Winter olympics to Stockholm/Åre. They will start to work on a bid for 2026. http://www.expressen.se/sport/sveriges-plan--for-att-fa-olympiska-spelen/ Realistic or not I think it's nice to see they want it.

Very disappointing but not surprising news. Many of the swedish athletes are very disappointed with Stockholm's council's decision. But this is not surprising. Right now Sweden have a gouverment that HATE sports. Sweden and SOK can only hope that will be an another gouverment both In STHLM and Sweden in october. This will not help the bid for 2022 but in the future it will maybe help.

Well the problem is rather that people critiqize bids even before they seen the plans. Yes Markun have done great work here but still it's easier to do that with the plans that have been presented.

My question is do they need to call it Stockholm/Åre? It's only few events that will held in Åre. Why not just call it Stockholm 2022? That would make it clear that is Stockholm that will host WOG 2022 with only little help from Åre.

What happened? The responses to a Stockholm/Åre 2022 seems much more positiv now. Why? Anyway, go Stockholm and Sweden. It's really time for a swedish wog,

Well they who really want to see them can do that. It's just go to Åre. I don't see any difference. Every sport events have their own spectators... There are som much other things to watch in STHLM instead. Among them icehockey which will be probably the main sport event for spectators in Sweden. I don't see alpine skiing as crown jewel either.

and what about equestrian and sailing then? There many different events of them too. But still China was allowed to host them 2000km and 670km away from Bejing. What's the different to Alpine events being hosted in Åre?

One sport? What about sailing? It was held 670km away from Beijing. You need to read the posts more carefully. Both equestrian and sailing were held more than 670km away from Beijing. Which judges need to travel? First of they who needs to be in Åre stay in Åre. Why travel back to Stockholm? Their event is in Åre. Ski jumping would be held in Stockholm not Åre. And you made me hate Germany. What's different?

Actually Sweden's winter months are december-february. But often the winter is in half of March too. Yes and if China get OG with even more bigger ditsnce why not Sweden? It's only some alpine which will be held in Åre. The majority will be held in STHLM.

And because your bad attitude against the small countries I hope Germany never will get any OG again! And stop saying you loved a Swedish OG because you clearly have an agenda against Sweden.

You should visit Stockholm in february before saying we don't have snow. Actually we have snow in MARCH!! Strong hard winters with tempratures down to -10!! In fact in March I was TOTALLY pissed off by the cold winter! Just when we thought the spring would come insted we got more snow. And do you really think Germany and other countries have more snow than Stockhol`m?? I don't think so!

So Bejing, China with Equestrian events 2000km away and sailing events 670km away is acceptable but Stockholm, Sweden with Åre 650 km is a bad bid?? Looool, this proof what I mean. The only reason to why Sweden isn't popular in here is that this forum just want the big countries to host and are very threatened by a Sweden bid. Ha ha!

You said sailing needs a large body of water. What's different to have high and big mountains? Also no I don't understand the equestrian thing? If the countries don't have laws to host these events why choose them as host at all if it's no acceptable to have events that far away? Then IOC should choose another host. Sorry I don't see the difference between equestrian/sailing and alpine...This is a just an another try to put Sweden down.
