To hear the world’s Olympic leaders tell it, the bidding for future Winter Games has been jumbled by internal disputes at India’s Olympic committee, a newfound affinity for streamlining the bidding process and a long-overdue nod to the impact of climate change. Left unsaid might be the biggest reason of them all: It’s becoming nearly impossible to find any place, outside of Salt Lake City, that truly wants to host these events. It’s a reality that has been building for decades, and one that even the IOC said could reach a tipping point soon. At a meeting last week, Olympic leaders floated the idea of rotating future games between a handful of cities that have the ability to host games in the warming globe of the future.
