MERIBEL, France (AP) — The dearth of candidates to host the Winter Olympics amid spiralling venue costs could force the IOC to resort to lining up a list of fixed, rotating hosts. A highly theoretical list could include Salt Lake City and Vancouver in North America, Pyeongchang in Asia and places like Switzerland, Italy and Scandinavia in Europe. Retired Olympic skiing champion Lindsey Vonn is on the bid committee for Salt Lake City for 2030 or 2034. She tells The Associated Press that “there are talks” going on about setting up a rotation of fixed hosts.
