All those other cities that don't bid are depressing ####holes then? As mentioned 2026 had a number of cities drop out. The two cities left don't even have government support for the games, so who knows if they'll even end up bidding at all.
last i checked, Calgary was rated by the Economist this year as the 4th most livable city in the world... https://edition.cnn.com/travel/artic...018/index.html
While i don't necessarily agree with that ranking, there are far worse cities to live in than Calgary. |
That's a great point.
If hosting the Olympics is so great, why is no one trying?
