Roger87 Posted June 27, 2019 Report Share Posted June 27, 2019 The only thing I could say Zagreb is if all the ex Yugoslavia makes a proper Winter Olympics and put Sarajevo again (With Zagreb/Belgrade as secondary host cities) and that's a big if.

FYI Posted July 1, 2019 Report Share Posted July 1, 2019 In that part of the world, I can only see Sarajevo hosting (again). And even that’s a longshot at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baron-pierreIV Posted December 29, 2020 Report Share Posted December 29, 2020 They've even cancelled the 2021 European Figure Skating Champs slated for Zagreb in January next month because of Covid. So that is a major mark against the city through no fault of its own. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanMUC Posted December 30, 2020 Report Share Posted December 30, 2020 Zagreb just got hit by the second heavy earthquake in 9 months yesterday, strongest in 150 years or so. They surely have other things on their mind right now. Also, I think by topography, Slovenia or again Sarajevo would be more feasible.

So that is a major mark against the city through no fault of its own. Zagreb has hosted several major figure skating competitions in the last several years including the 2019 World Junior Figure Skating Championships and 2013 European Figure Skating Championships. They're a proven host and having 2021 Euros cancelled is hardly a major mark against the city. They get great marks from most fans who attend competitions there. In all likelihood, Zagreb will probably be awarded host city privileges for Euros 2024 to make up for this year assuming they want it. The ISU gave 2023 Four Continents to Sydney as a make-up for having to cancel 2021 4CCs which they were slated to host. Probably the only reason the same didn't happen for 2023 Euros is that the ISU waited until December to cancel Euros and by then they'd already awarded 2023 Euros to Helsinki, whereas the 2021 4CCs cancellation was made prior to the awarding of the hosts for the major 2023 championships (Worlds, Jr Worlds, Continentals, Synchro Worlds and Synchro Jr Worlds).

What about Slovenia? Ljubljana has some arenas, could replace the old outdoor speed skating oval, has that Nordic Centre and a Biathlon course. As well as the necessary ski resorts of course.

Ljubljana is very Alpine-like. But Slovenia seems to be too preoccupied with a lot of anti-gov't protests/rallies these days. So a Winter Olympic bid I seriously doubt is on the minds of ordinary Slovenians. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanMUC Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 Slovenia’s PM is trying hard to follow Orbán’s footsteps. So I wouldn’t rule out a bid just as a vanity project for him and his cronies. As I said in the dedicated Ljubljana thread, geographically it should not be a problem (unlike Croatia), so it’s not completely off the cards.

FYI Posted August 2 Report Share Posted August 2 So what's with all these wannabe dictators in Eastern Europe anyway? Maybe that's what they see what it takes to land an Olympics these days? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
