Four days ago, there was an article saying that Sapporo City, which had been aiming to host the 2030 Olympics, was giving up, and there was a statement that “we are aiming for 2034 or later,” but yesterday the International Olympic Committee (IOC) announced that It has been announced that the venue for the 2034 and 2034 Winter Games will be decided at the same time. Sapporo City has been working to host the Olympics for many years, but in the wake of the corruption scandal surrounding the Tokyo Games, they gave up on hosting the 2030 Games and instead aimed for the 2034 Games. However, three days following the decision was made, the IOC announced that it would not be possible to hold the Games in Sapporo in 2034. In effect, the Sapporo Olympics will be wiped out.
In general, Sapporo residents seem to be welcoming this decision, saying it will save them from wasting their tax dollars, but there is also a sense of disappointment among those who were involved in activities to boost the winter industry. .
Vancouver and Whistler were initially considered Sapporo’s rivals in the bid to host the 2030 Olympics, but on October 27 of last year they announced they would not support the bid, citing billions of dollars in direct costs alone. This decision, like the one in Sapporo, has been generally welcomed by Vancouver residents.

Salt Lake City was another strong candidate, but since the Summer Olympics will be held in Los Angeles in 2028, some said it would be better to hold the event in 2034. Therefore, the intention was to hold the event in 2034, but with the IOC’s policy of holding the event in 2030 and 2034 simultaneously, it feels like it has suddenly become the first choice. There are other locations scheduled to host the Olympics in 2030 and 2034, but the mood seems to be for Salt Lake City to be held…! ?
It is true that the Olympics cost money, but on the other hand, the legacy of hosting the Olympics some 20 years ago remains, and if we can host the Olympics not just once, but twice, it would be great for Salt Lake City. It seems like there are big benefits.
As you know, the huge cost of the Olympics is tied to American broadcasting rights fees, so if Salt Lake City were to be chosen, something like that would have been involved. ” I feel like I’m making a mistake.
This may be a result, but the Tokyo Olympics were held amidst the coronavirus pandemic, and Sapporo was at the mercy of bid efforts, and Japan ended up in a situation where it felt like it had been forced to draw the poor lottery. Who should I vent my anger on? Next year, when we are shown the Olympic Games in front of a large crowd in Paris, we may feel jealous of what we have lost.
