Gangwon Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 Here’s some well wishes from one of your biggest supporters now that you’re off to Durban. You will never be able to speak English or French as well as your rival bidders, but the values of Olympism is a universal language, so let everyone in Durban know what we can offer them. Just do your best and leave South Africa with no regrets.
baron-pierreIV Posted July 1, 2011 Report Posted July 1, 2011 /\/\ I'm verklempft, Gangwon!! You are so classy. But you know, they have the last spot in the presentation order, their time at bat, and what do they say? 3rd time's the charm!!
fcbayern2000 Posted July 2, 2011 Report Posted July 2, 2011 best of luck, it is an advantage to present last, and leave a big impression on IOC members before they vote
Speedsk8er Posted July 5, 2011 Report Posted July 5, 2011 Yes it would be nice to see Pyeongchang get the nod. As a member of US Speedskating I know it would mean a lot to our Korean contingent who has helped a great deal with our efforts in North America. For rotational purposes it would make a lot of sense as well geographically.
stir.ts Posted July 5, 2011 Report Posted July 5, 2011 This is the right time for the right reason for Korea. Good Luck to all the supporters.
Sir Rols Posted July 5, 2011 Report Posted July 5, 2011 Good luck PC! I'm in the Munich camp, but PCs been a worthy competitor and will be deserving if it wins!
mattperiolat Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 Another "My heart is in Munich" supporter, but I wish sincere luck and best wishes to PC. If you finally get it, I think the Games will do well in Korea.
baron-pierreIV Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 I think Yuna AND Toby Dawson should BOTH have Final Lighting rights!! BTW, any word from Uncle Kim...u know the Northern uncle?
intoronto Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 Why didn't they propose Gangneung as the host city and this as the stadium: http://www.worldstadiums.com/stadium_pictures/asia/south_korea/kangwon_do/gangneung_stadium.shtml
Sir Rols Posted July 6, 2011 Report Posted July 6, 2011 BTW, any word from Uncle Kim...u know the Northern uncle? Our one? Or the real one in PyeongYang? I'm sure we'll be hearing from both a bit over the next seven years.
taichi Posted July 7, 2011 Report Posted July 7, 2011 Hooray!!! Yes, I just want to say congratualtions on getting the Games to Pyeong Chang. Good luck
Ikarus360 Posted July 7, 2011 Report Posted July 7, 2011 I think Yuna AND Toby Dawson should BOTH have Final Lighting rights!! BTW, any word from Uncle Kim...u know the Northern uncle? Oh god no. They already tried to ruin the 1988 Olympics for them. That didn't worked up (and no one gave a single f**k to their boycott) I wonder what stupidity they'll do in Pyeongchang.

I remember when North Korea was a HUGE issue in the run-up to 1988. Now, after the Seoul games, the 2022 WC et al, it was hardly mentioned seriously in the 2018 race.
baron-pierreIV Posted July 7, 2011 Report Posted July 7, 2011 Hooray!!! Yes, I just want to say congratualtions on getting the Games to Pyeong Chang. Good luck Taich, We can HARDLY wait for the countdown clock!!
