DS729 Posted September 9, 2013 Author Share Posted September 9, 2013 This will never happen, but it was kinda discussed before and would be kinda interesting: a US/Canadian joint bid between Montreal and Lake Placid/other Northern Adirondack resort. Mountain events at Lake Placid, hockey/curling/figure skating/speed skating at Montreal.Apparently the IOC isn't allowing dual-nation joint bids at the moment, that's why the San Diego-Tijuana 2024 bid was cancelled, I'm not sure about about joint-bids within a country, though.

It's a shame, though... situations like that could work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaytonBlue Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 It wouldn't surprise me if at some point in 20-30 years the IOC is forced to allow international bids. I think cities will eventually decide the cost/benefits of the Olympics simply aren't worth it.

Cosmic Posted September 10, 2013 Share Posted September 10, 2013 Is there some list that you're pulling these places from, or did you honeymoon in Tsaghkadzor and that's why you have such a strong desire to see the Olympics go there? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DS729 Posted September 10, 2013 Author Share Posted September 10, 2013 I don't think a winter olympics in Lima would work... they'd have to import snow that would eventually melt, plus Lima is RIGHT ON THE EQUATOR!The poll vote is tied between Almaty and Bern, next one to get a vote wins...
