It's weird to me that these exploratory bids seem to come up so often. I can't see the Olympics ever returning for a much, much longer time than it's been. It's a once in a lifetime thing.

I can. Rio is teetering on the edge of being a major disaster, and the only bids for 2022 were Beijing and Almaty. If there is a similar lack of interest for 2026, Calgary could walk in and promote the facts that we've already hosted one of the most successful Games ever, and we are right on top of the US and all of its media money - and by 2026, it will have been 16 years since the Winter Olympics were played out at times Americans will be awake and watching.
