SALT LAKE CITY — There's now just one unidentified contender in the race to host a Winter Games, joiningSapporo, Japan; Vancouver, Canada; along with a pair of new bidders, Sweden and Switzerland.
But he made it clear during a virtual news conference that the contenders are already known, "except a sixth country which has not yet declared but is talking to us and they are not in continuous dialog. So the number is really six."" that apparently fizzled. Last month, French IOC member Guy Drut told L'Équipe that two of the country's mountain regions should team up to bid for 2030.
That's because "we can talk together about how to maximize the chances of Switzerland and the others, by the way, including into the distant future," he said. "I really like this approach. It can have a really long-term view." Bids by Sapporo and Vancouver for 2030 have been called into question by declining public support. Japanese Olympic officials have said they won't support a bid from Sapporo until 2034 or later, while Vancouver still lacks needed government financial backing.
Bullock, who served as the chief operating officer of Utah's last Olympics, the 2002 Winter Games, said the "ideal scenario" for the bid also includes a dual award of the 2030 and 2034 Games next year.
