Yup.
Stockholm and Turin/Milan/Cortina d’Ampezzo are still trying to get political support for their bids and there's a good chance they fall apart before September.
Graz was a late switch for Austria after the Innsbruck bid lost support and is facing its own local opposition.
Sapporo appears to be leaning towards pulling out and moving to a 2030 bid.
Going to a relatively small and remote city in eastern Turkey that would need to build new facilities for virtually every sport is not likely to be the IOC's preferred destination for its new cost-effective hosting plan.
