Calgary, Canada, in the Italian Region of Milan/Cortina d’ampezzo and the Swedish capital of Stockholm are finalists in the race to host the Olympic winter games of 2026. The General Assembly of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) confirmed in Buenos Aires, the three places as the official candidate. “All three of the good would be, a trusted Partner for us,” said IOC Vice-President Juan Antonio Samaranch jr. “They have the infrastructure and experience to Olympic winter games align games.” Special attention was paid to ensuring that the cost remained in the frame, and new buildings also could go to the winter games used to be.

Popular vote in Calgary

Political problems there might be in Calgary, where for the month of November is a referendum on the winter games is planned. Although the decision is not binding, however it would be difficult to nominate to the canadian Olympic place in advance of 1988 in the case of a significant Failure of the referendum. Already the candidacy of Sion in Switzerland, was not successful, because the population was against Olympia.

Who is allowed to host the next winter games, the IOC in June, 2019 in Lausanne. Originally, this had to fully take place meeting in Milan, but was moved because the city is among the candidates. The IOC Executive Committee had sorted out, last Thursday, the Turkish interested parties Erzurum. There is a lack of experience in winter sports, it was said to the grounds.

Controversial athletes Declaration approved

The IOC Assembly agreed to adopt the controversial athlete’s Declaration. They had been prepared by the IOC athletes Commission and is intended to protect athletes from abuse, discrimination and Doping. The IOC has called the Declaration “a major breakthrough”. The views of more than 4200 athletes from 190 countries had been taken into account.

Several national athletes associations had not prompted the IOC to adopt the Declaration. “We are not convinced that the voice of athletes has been adequately searched for”, it was the part of the critics, including the athletes, associations from the USA, Canada, the UK and Germany. The broad mass of professional athletes had not been consulted. In addition, the statement does not give the athletes sufficient protection, it was said in the Letter to IOC President Thomas Bach. Also was unclear how violations of the rights of athletes would be sanctioned.
