Nacholympic Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 After the historic victory of Brazil to bid 2016 Olympics many of us ask the question if there is the chance to South American Cities bid for the Winter Games... The best option is for the Winter Games and Santiago de Chile offers the best ski resorts in South America... Should Santiago bid for a future Winter Games??? Do you agree with this option?

Kenadian Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 There are many topics discussing the Winter Olympics in the Southern Hemisphere and the general consensus is that while it might be nice to see one down there someday, the IOC and the International Federations are not going to want to have the Winter Olympics in the middle of August when they've always had them in the middle of February. In the last Olympics, there were 2400 from the North, 100 from the South. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Citius Altius Fortius Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 I have to admit that I would love to see Winter Olympics in Santiago de Chile or in New Zealand!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mangle Posted October 4, 2009 Report Share Posted October 4, 2009 I think that South America and Chile in particular needs to work on building there winter sports teams. Chile hasn't even won a winter games medal. And the second logical place to hold them in South America would probably be Argentina IMO, and they have also never meddled in the winter games. I think once Chile and South America start really competing in the winter games the IOC would take a good bid seriously. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
