KevinMcD Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Can't wait to see the logo.Based on the 2010 and 2012 logos we still have ~2 years of sanity till this is released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TBGKon Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Wow I thought it was gonna be Salzburg or maybe Peyong-ChangI have to agree, I had thought Salzburg would have gotten it. Based on the voting, Salzburg was eliminated in Round 1 with the vote as follows:Sochi - 34PyeongChang - 36Salzburg - 25In Round 2, the voting was very close, with Sochi winning by a mere 4 votes:Sochi - 51PyeongChang - 47 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJTank Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Well good for Russia, I think they should have a shot at the Winter Games. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VitaminD Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 Meh. As hard as it is to believe that Russia/USSR has never had a Winter Games, I was pulling for Salzburg. My maternal grandfather's family was from Salzburg, and it would have been that much more incentive to go. I think I have a decent shot at good tickets for Vancouver in 2010, so I may have to redouble efforts to get there instead of seeing the Old Country in 2014.

Sir Donald Posted July 5, 2007 Share Posted July 5, 2007 IMO going into the Session; Salzberg was the safe bet, PC was a gamble given circumstances such as irritable neighbours, and Sochi sat right in the middle.Good Luck to Sochi!Your first task - to release a logo to make the London 2012 Games logo look like it was a good idea!

-Helix- Posted July 6, 2007 Share Posted July 6, 2007 Don't they know the world's gonna end in 2012??Ahhhhhhhhh A believer in the Mayan Calendar.Has anyone ever thought maybe it ends in 2012 because the guy making it died or got tired.Actually I believe the way it works is that the Mayan Calender was seperated into "eras" and 2012 was the end of an era. But it could really mean anything. End of the world is just one theory. Or maybe it's just when the last person with Mayan blood dies and the Mayans are officially died out or something. Or something will happen that changes the world. Jesus, Aliens, who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
