Candidate cities

On 15 November 2013, the IOC announced the list of the six applicant cities,.[5] On 7 July 2014, the IOC announced the three (at the time) remaining applicant cities would move on to the candidate phase.The IOC sent the finalists a seven thousand page-long list of demands.[6] One of the IOC's demands was that every IOC member have an unlimited supply of Coca-Cola products.[7]

On 1 October 2014, Oslo withdrew from the application after the political party Høyre decided not to support the application.[8] The remaining two candidate cities are, in the order defined by the IOC:[9][10]

City Country National Olympic Committee
Almaty  Kazakhstan National Olympic Committee of the Republic of Kazakhstan

Since 2011, the National Olympic Committee of the Republic of Kazakhstan has been considering a bid for the 2022 games in Almaty, the former capital city and still the largest city and financial centre of the country.[11][12][13] Kazakhstan hosted the 2011 Asian Winter Games.Almaty will host 2017 Winter Universiade. On 17 August 2013, Almaty announced they were bidding for the 2022 Games.[14]

Beijing  China Chinese Olympic Committee

On 5 November 2013, the Chinese Olympic Committee announced that it would submit a bid for Beijing to host the 2022 Winter Olympics. Beijing (where the indoor ice sports and the ceremonies would take place), was the host city of the 2008 Summer Olympics. Zhangjiakou would host the outdoor snow events.[15]

Cancelled bids

On 7 November 2013, the Polish Olympic Committee announced they submitted a bid to the IOC for the 2022 Winter Olympics, together with Zakopane, and Jasná, a village in central Slovakia, near the Polish border.[16][17] If the bid had been successful, it would have been the first time either Poland or Slovakia hosted the Olympics.[18] Zakopane previously bid to host the 2006 Winter Olympics but failed to become a candidate. Kraków's bid was submitted to a local referendum held on 25 May 2014, however, which gave a negative result. After that Krakow discontinued the application on 26 May 2014.[19]
The National Olympic Committee of Ukraine officially submitted a bid for Lviv to host the 2022 Winter Olympic Games on 5 November 2013.[20] On 30 June 2014 the International Olympic Committee announced "that Lviv will turn its attention to an Olympic bid for 2026, and not continue with its application for 2022. The decision comes as a result of the present political and economic circumstances in Ukraine."[21]
On 6 November 2013, the Norwegian Olympic and Paralympic Committee and Confederation of Sports announced that Oslo would be submitted as the Norwegian candidate for the 2022 Winter Olympic Games. Oslo last hosted the 1952 Winter Olympics, and Norway last hosted the 1994 Winter Olympics in Lillehammer.[22] On 1 October 2014 the Conservative Party decided that they would not support a bid for the games because, as reported in the Newspaper Verdens Gang, they were offended by "These insane demands that [IOC] should be treated like the king of Saudi Arabia..."[23] The city of Oslo decided to immediately terminate further work on the application.[24][25]
On 11 November 2013, the Swedish Olympic Committee announced they submitted a bid to the IOC for the Games,[26] but on 17 January 2014, Stockholm dropped the bid, because of lack of political support.[27] Åre, about 610 km (380 mi) from Stockholm, was scheduled to host the alpine skiing events. Stockholm previously hosted the 1912 Summer Olympics, but this was the first time the Swedish capital was bidding for the Winter Olympics.

Previously interested in bidding

The former parts of the County of Tyrol, Tyrol in Austria, South Tyrol and Trentino in Italy were considering a joint bid as the Euroregion Tyrol–South Tyrol–Trentino for the 2022 Olympics. The capital of Tyrol, Innsbruck, has already hosted Olympic Winter Games twice, in 1964 and 1976 as well as the 2012 Winter Youth Olympics. However, the common legislative assembly of Tyrol, South Tyrol and Trentino rejected the proposal during its session on 30 March 2011.[32]
After the announcment that Sarajevo will host the 2017 European Youth Winter Olympic Festival,[33] President of Party of Better Future of Bosnia and Herzegovina (SBB BiH), Fahrudin Radončić said that Bosnia and Herzegovina will apply for the 2022 Winter Olympics to be held in Sarajevo.[34][35] Sarajevo previously hosted the 1984 Winter Olympics when it was part of Yugoslavia.
Québec City initially expressed interest in bidding. In September 2011, Québec City mayor [38] was not approved.Le Massif Québec has a problem finding a mountain for the downhill event, as the planned location [37]
After an interview with then Winter Olympics in the southern hemisphere for the first time. During the interview conditions in the Andes were highlighted as very suitable to stage snow sports events but a lack of existing venues for the ice sport events was identified as well.[39]
After the failure by Nice to secure the French nomination for the 2018 Olympics, the mayor of Nice, Christian Estrosi, announced in 2011[40] and again during the 2012 Summer Games that his city was still interested in bidding.[41] The French Olympic Committee will make a decision after they get an autumn report about the failure of previous Olympic bids by France, but the president of the Committee also said that the probability of bidding for 2022 is weak.[42]
During the 2010 Winter Olympics in Vancouver, Jouko Purontakanen, the Secretary General of the Finland Olympic Committee, said Finland could host the games alone in Tahko, Kuopio, and Helsinki if the project for artificial heightening of the Tahko hill progresses.[43] Stefan Wallin, Finland's Minister for Culture and Sports, has also suggested that Finland should bid for the 2022 games with other Nordic countries after Finland's NOC discusses with them in Vancouver.[43] Nothing followed from these suggestions: the heightening of Tahko hill did not progress since 2010 due to environmental concerns,[44] and no Nordic countries indicated an interest to bid with Finland since the discussions in Vancouver.
Following the failed bid of Munich to host the 2018 Winter Olympics, plans were made for a second attempt. On 30 September 2013, Deutscher Olympischer Sportbund (the German National Olympic Committee) announced its intention to submit a bid for Munich to host the 2022 Winter Olympics.[45] The Olympic plans were cancelled on 10 November 2013, though, due to the outcome of referendums held in Munich, Garmisch-Partenkirchen and the Bavarian districts of Berchtesgadener Land and Traunstein, where the competitions would have taken place.[46] In each locality, a majority had voted against bidding: 51.2 percent in Munich, 51.6 percent in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, 54.0 percent in Berchtesgadener Land and 59.7 percent in Traunstein.[47] Arguments brought forth by the opponents include the high costs for hosting the Olympics, environmental issues and criticism of commercialization of sports in general and the IOC in particular.[48]
In order to address concerns voiced about the 2018 bid, the 2022 Games would have been located at four different places. Only Alpine Skiing and Ski Jumping competitions would have been held at Garmisch-Partenkirchen (the host city of the 1936 Winter Olympics), whilst Nordic Skiing and Biathlon events would have taken place at existing facilities at Ruhpolding, thus minimizing the land use. The Königssee bobsleigh, luge, and skeleton track would have become another important venue. Indoor ice skating events and ski/snowboard half-pipe competitions would have been held at the Olympiapark in Munich, the main site of the 1972 Summer Olympics; and the Olympic Stadium would have been used for the opening and closing ceremonies.[49]
Queenstown, New Zealand's main winter sports centre, has toyed with the idea of bidding for hosting rights of the Winter Olympics in the past, notably a 2007 report suggesting a bid (co-hosting with Dunedin) for the 2018 games. A proposal to bring the games to the Southern Hemisphere for the first time in 2022, to be jointly held in Queenstown and Christchurch, has been mooted by a private group, but does not have general support among the country's Olympians and is seen as unlikely to proceed.[50][51]
The mayor of Brașov, 2020 Winter Youth Olympics. (olympic.org)
Barcelona (the host city of the 1992 Summer Olympics) considered a bid for the 2022 Olympics, but on 25 October 2013, mayor Xavier Trias announced that "the conditions" would not exist yet. Instead, one "must concentrate to reach the Olympic target by 2026."[54] On 13 January 2010, then mayor of Barcelona Jordi Hereu had first announced plans to host the 2022 Winter Olympics. The proposed "two cluster system" would have seen the Games being shared with La Molina, a ski resort in the Pyrenees. Indoor sports (as well as the opening, closing and medal ceremonies) would have taken place in Barcelona.[55][56][57]
The Zaragoza-Pyrenees 2022 bid was withdrawn on 7 November 2011 and left Barcelona as sole candidate from Spain to host the 2022 Winter Olympics. Officials insisted that Barcelona never regarded Zaragoza as "a rival, but rather the opposite. Both of us championed the Pyrenees brand in our projects and that's why I believe Aragon will also benefit if Barcelona goes ahead with this bid, because it will have a positive effect on the whole Pyrenees".[58][59][60]
Östersund was interested in a potential 2022 bid, but the Swedish Olympic committee decided not to move forward with bidding due to a lack of financial guarantees from the government.[61] The SOC chairman said that future applications were unlikely because of the government policy.[62] However Sweden has applied with Stockholm as main city, with more arenas and hotels already available, therefore lower cost.
The intention to bid was approved in November 2010. On 24 January 2011, the Swiss Olympic Association, announced that five areas across Switzerland had shown interest in bidding to host the 2022 Winter Olympics:[63] Geneva, Valais, Graubünden, Lucerne/Central Switzerland and Berne. After a withdrawal from Central Switzerland,[64] the Swiss Olympic Association received four bids by 31 March 2011 deadline.[65] The executive committee of the Swiss Olympic Association decided on 11 August 2011 to put forward a bid of the St.Moritz/Davos-area to host the 2022 Olympic Winter Games. St. Moritz last hosted the Winter Olympics in 1928 and 1948.
St. Moritz/Davos presented a project that will host all events in the surrounding area of [66] However at a plebiscite in Graubünden about the bid on 3 March 2013, the public voted with 41'758 to 37'540 votes (52.66% to 47.43%) [67] against a credit for the 2022 Olympic Games, meaning that the bid will have to be dropped.
  • Multiple cities, United States
Multiple cities in the United States such as Bozeman, Denver, Reno, and Salt Lake City expressed interest in bidding for the 2022 Games, but the USOC is opting to bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics or the 2026 Winter Olympics.[68]
