Sir Rols 1902 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 The Swedish Olympic Comittée has said that they are planing to bid, with either Stockholm, Göteborg (Gothenburg) or Malmö. =) Here is a article about it, in Swedish... but try google translate (= http://www.dn.se/spo...soka-ungdoms-os I thought it was silly to discuss a Swedish bid in the Buenos Aires thread, and it deserved one of its own. Any thoughts on which is more likely to go for it. I wouldn't be surprised to see Göteborg get the nod - somehow it seems more "YOG" to me, and they always have a point to prove over the Stockholmers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
intoronto 650 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Wow Sweden instant competition for Glasgow now. However wouldn't this concede that Sweden does not believe it can host a WOG? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

However wouldn't this concede that Sweden does not believe it can host a WOG? Not the way I'd interpret it - I don't think you'll ever see them concede that. But I DO wonder if this means they're not going to throw their hand into the 2022 race. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
deawebo 77 Posted January 30, 2012 Report Share Posted January 30, 2012 Sweden vs Glasgow whoaaa! That is more intresting, Stockholm will be great if they use the Sweden Arena (the new one) to ceremonies but i bet they will try with Gothemburg -- Wow Sweden instant competition for Glasgow now. However wouldn't this concede that Sweden does not believe it can host a WOG? Perhaps Sweden is sick of trying on winter games Quote Link to post Share on other sites
tikus_kecil 21 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Mmh... What is the correlation of try to bid the YOG and the WOG ? what's the chance a country win a YOG (no matter the winter or the summer) then the same country win a WOG in just maybe 4 years ? As a lot of people here talk, what's YOG ? we can't compare the YOG to the actual Olympic, so maybe Sweden wants to try the YOG with Gothenburg, and try 2022 with Stockholm Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FYI 1193 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 Stockholm would be too far away from Are, where the Alpine events would need to take place, to make such a 2022 bid logistically feasible. That was the crux for Falun's previous failed bids. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
mr OF 2 Posted January 31, 2012 Report Share Posted January 31, 2012 I think Gothenburg is the town that have the largest intress in hosting. =) And about the winter olympics, Stockholm would have been good if it wasn't the huge distance to Östersund and Åre. So the Swedish olympic comittee are only thinking about Åre and Östersund (= Quote Link to post Share on other sites
