Mr.M15ter 0 Posted January 9 Report Share Posted January 9 If they were to bid for any sort of upcoming Winter Games, I think they'd be more likely to see success for the 2028 onward Winter Youth Olympics. From what I've researched, they seem to be the only place talking about hosting the 2028 WYO. They could recycle Lviv's 2022 WOG bid. I don't know if I'd call competition for the 2030 WOG "stiff", but four cities (Barcelona-Pyrenees, Salt Lake City, Sapporo, & Vancouver), three of whom are veteran hosts, are talking about bidding. I think if Ukraine wants to set itself up for success, it should shoot for the next possible WYOG (2028). Maybe they could shoot for a senior Winter Games as soon as 2034, with a WYOG serving as a "test run." Where summer games are concerned, Kiev could be an okay host for the Summer Youth Olympics, but they would certainly need to build quite a bit of infrastructure. A senior summer Olympics is a long way off, to say the least. All the while, however, politics may doom any future bid, both because of referendums and Russian aggression.

iceman530 1 Posted January 11 Report Share Posted January 11 God no, Ukraine, I love you and your people but please, the money needs to be spent elsewhere. You're already borderline bankrupt and barely holding on economically as is. Not a good idea. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I agree towards your statement concerning the fact that Ukraine might be more successful for hosting the Winter Youth Olympics 2028. As already mentioned, the other alternative hosts are also from my point of view strong "players", when comparing the experience holding bigger events (might be a disadvantage for Ukraine, since they are lack on the experiences). Nevertheless, the with the support they might could have chances Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Nevertheless, the with the support they might could have chances Ukraine (co-)hosted the EURO 2012, it is not as if they're Abuja or Hambatota trying to get the Commonwealth Games. It is economically and politically not an option at this point in time, but they clearly have potential as a future Winter Olympics host at some point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
iceman530 1 Posted Thursday at 10:11 PM Report Share Posted Thursday at 10:11 PM Agreed that it has upside as a viable location in the future, but they have so, so, SO much to clean up right now. Let Sapporo and SLC go first, and maybe once everything is cleaned up by 2038, theyll be looking pretty. Rhetorically, where would it be, Lviv and the Carpathians? that might be a nice option. I have no idea how Lviv isnt on everyone's travel list it is such a cozy little town Quote Link to post Share on other sites
lele2024 0 Posted 19 hours ago Report Share Posted 19 hours ago I don't know a lot can change. It is good because of the location. I think they can change and make it up. its probably a very good option. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
