Beijing Wins Election To Host 2022 Winter Olympics - USA Today http://www.usatoday.com/story/sport...-election-host-2022-winter-olympics/30923451/ Throughout more than 120 years of Olympic history, no city has hosted both the winter and summer games. Now, Beijing will be the first do it — and in the span of just 14 years. The Chinese capital was awarded the 2022 Winter Olympics on Friday, beating Kazakh rival Almaty 44-40 in a surprisingly close vote marred by technical problems, taking the games back to the city that hosted the summer version in 2008. Beijing came in to the vote as the strong favorite, despite its lack of natural snow. The tight margin caught most IOC members by surprise. Beijing was seen by the International Olympic Committee as a secure, reliable choice that also offered vast commercial opportunities in a new winter sports market of more than 300 million people in northern China. The IOC’s secret vote was conducted by paper ballot, after the first electronic vote experienced technical faults with the voting tablets and was not counted. The result of the first vote was not disclosed. There was one abstention in the paper ballot. Olympics website: http://www.olympic.org/news/beijing-named-host-city-of-olympic-winter-games-2022/246674

What a wonderful decision... Refugees Can Compete For First Time In Rio In 2016 - ESPN http://espn.go.com/olympics/story/_...mpics-first-2016-rio-games-ioc-president-says UNITED NATIONS (AP) -- Highly qualified athletes who are refugees will be allowed to compete in the Olympic Games for the first time in 2016, the president of the International Olympic Committee announced Monday. IOC chief Thomas Bach made the announcement to the U.N. General Assembly, which adopted a resolution urging all countries to stop fighting and observe a truce during the 2016 Summer Olympics and Paralympics in Rio de Janeiro. Bach appealed to all 193 U.N. member states to help the IOC identify talented refugee athletes. Until now, Bach said, qualified refugee athletes were not able to participate because they couldn't represent their home countries and their national Olympic committees. But he said the IOC has decided to welcome refugee athletes to the 2016 Olympics, at which they will live in the Olympic Village alongside 11,000 athletes from 206 national Olympic committees. "Having no national team to belong to, having no flag to march behind, having no national anthem to be played, these refugee athletes will be welcomed to the Olympic games with the Olympic flag and with the Olympic anthem," he said.
