Dusting off the possibilities for a Sofia bid: I personally thought Sofia had one of the more interesting bids for 2014. It's one of the few European capitals with great winter sports oppotunities virtually at its doorstep.
Reading the old topic I refer to below, I was enthusiastic about the ideas raised there and pondering whether indeed a bid without Bansko would be able to succeed. For instance:
- Use Borovets for alpine skiing, ski jumping and nordic combined
- Use Vitosha (Aleko) for freestyle and snowboarding.
- Have all ice events in Sofia. Bobsleigh and luge
