finally~!!! Winter Games in Korea~

finally~~

they lost to vancouver by 3 votes....

they lost to sochi by 4 votes.....

FINALLY~~~

pyeongchang will host the 2018 winter games!!!!

they received 63 votes, which was a whopping majority over the 25 votes for munich....

i was a bit worried.... i was sure they'd get it, until i saw the final presentations for each city's bid..... no offense... but i think most people knew annecy, france would not get it......already they have had 3 prior winter games... and their bid wasnt really strong either except 'the alps'.....

after the korean presentation, i was sure they'd get it.... until during the Q&A session, when asked about their preparation for any environmental factors.... and the development of winter olympics in asia.... they had hopeless answers.... for a moment.... i thought korea just blew it.....

after all, korea did have a nice long well organised bid.... but had no reference to any environmental issues..... also they argued that since this is the third bid, they have prepared the facilities already, and the last winter olympics show that the winter olympics is on the rise in korea too.... it was argued that all the gold medals were won "on ice" and korea still had a poor showing in the 'slide' and 'ski' events..... once again.... poor answer from the committee had me worried.....

well..... 7 years....

dunno what would be going on in 2018.... dunno where i'd be living... dunno if i'd be married... if i'd have kids...... i dunno if this blog would still be going....

but im pretty sure, im going to be in korea for the games.....

woo~~!!!
