neige Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 The other candidate was Socchi... The decision was announced in Seoul... The next Summer Military World games will be hosted in Rio... That's a sign! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FYI Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Yeah, a "sigh" that the Winter Games be somewhere else other than Annecy. For 2014, some say that South Korea slated to host too many international sporting events already, like the 2014 Asian Games & I forget what else they have that year (worlds fair maybe), were part of the reason they lost the 2014 Winter Games bid. The IOC may gave been reluctant to give them yet another international sporting event in that same year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 CISM are very small Games. Just the right size for Annency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ikarus360 Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 Congratulations to Annecy, although i doubt this will change the dark future of their WOG bid. Like Baron said, WMWG are small in comparison with the winter olympics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neige Posted May 13, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 it's the first repetition, 5 years before 2018, just like Rio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted May 13, 2011 Report Share Posted May 13, 2011 it's the first repetition, 5 years before 2018, just like Rio Except Rio won the 2016 designation BEFORE it got named to host the 2011 Summer MWG. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pure facts Posted May 14, 2011 Report Share Posted May 14, 2011 Except Rio won the 2016 designation BEFORE it got named to host the 2011 Summer MWG. Rio was awarded the 2011 summer MWG in May 2007 Rio was awarded the 2016 summer Games in October 2009. What's the interest of making up facts?
