how is the host city chosen in the 2006 winter olympics?
82407
The proceduce for choosing an Olympic Host City is as follows:\n\nEight years prior to the Olympics a city wishes to bid for they submit an application form to the IOC saying "We wish to bid for the Olympic Games of such a year". Then the IOC asks the cities that have expressed an interest to convince them to give the Olympics to them. This process lasts up to 18 months before about 6½ years before the Olympics itself, the IOC meet in Congress to elect the host of the Olympics

very definitely yes. Could be even sooner in 2016. Leading cities would be New York, Chicago, San Fran, and Philly.\nUSA is very important to the IOC on many levels (brilliant history, avid fan support, money from sponsors, broadcast and marketing, past success at hosting great Games). It seems to me if New York bid again it would be a done deal. The others would launch strong bids and would be worthy hosts. LA, Minneapolis and Houston are also interested but I don't know much about their plans so I have no opininion although all are nice places.\n Also take into account that from 2000 -2012 no summer Games were held in in North America and The IOC likes to spread it around so-to-speak.\n Toronto would be a great contender for North America and competitor to a USA bid but not seen as likely given the 2010 Winter Games are going to be held in amazing Vancouver.\n IOC would love to see a Games in South America and Africa eventually and so would I. My best guess is NYC in 2016 and either Rio or Buenos Aires for 2020. Check out some sources below.\n I live in San Jose but no matter where they are I'll be there.

You need a lot of things behind you to win an Olympic bid.\n \nBriefly they are:\nA good organizing & bid comittee to lobby the IOC. Political & public support in your city. Support from large industries and business in your city and in your country that want to host an Olympics.\nYou need to have good event facilities or plans to build such facilities.\nYou also need an international airport nearby and have good road and rail transport systems.\nOh and have an established pashion for sport in your country.\nIt is a large team effort that requires unity from many groups within a city. Hope that helps.

I go with Australia. We showed with a successful 2000 Olympics we are extremely capable of hosting world class sporting events and the venues left from the Olympics could be easily upgraded to the standard of world class stadiums. We are friendly people on the whole and would welcome everyone. That would be fantasic for us fans as being so far away from the rest of the world we don't get to see the best of the best play live. Australian's would love the opportunity to learn and grow from an experience like that.

Normally, a country that wants to be a host would announce it to FIFA. FIFA then would select a country from all the candidate countries. The selection is made years in advance (8 years I think) so that a country can prepare for the tournament.

That's not the sort of information that is usually available at a snap. The only thing I can suggest is that you contact people living in past Winter Olympic host cities who were aged between 5 and 13 when the Games where hosted there and ask what influence it had on them.

The Winter Olympics have indeed only been hosted by Northern Hemisphere countries, but the Summer Games have been south of the equator twice. 1956 Melbourne and 2000 Sydney.

New York is in the early stages for bidding for the 2016 Olympics. The thing that beat them last time was the unworkable stadium in Manhattan. Now, Queens is trying to get NYC back in the hunt. Plus, I would keep checking the US Olympic Committee Website because they nominate which city the US will put up to the Intern'l Olympic Committee,

Torino and Turin are one and the same. The XXth Winter Olympics are organised by the Italians and in Italian, Turin in Torino. Still not convinced? Okay, look here (and then be amazed)
