I think the games should be held again by 2022 in Pyonchang or Sochi then
Agreed! Then they can actually complete the infrastructure they were hoping to finish for 2014. :sarcasm:

Oh great! Thank you Putin!
Everyone back to Lillehammer!!
Or if they return to Vancouver, they could use everything already in place, house the athletes on chartered cruise ships (since the Pacific coast cruises all seem to dock in Vancouver and use it as a home base - and I'm only half-joking about this), and the monorail and highway to Whistler are well-used there and in good working condition.

I suggest they come back to Vancouver. hwell:
Oh please. I know there's a lot of "Evil Russia" sentiment on this board but that's just ridiculous. The costs of the Olympics (both Winter and Summer) have been spiralling out of control for years. Look at the disaster Rio is turning into.
If Russia was able to incorporate infrastructure that will be of benefit to the area for years to come then more power to them - because that's more than what Athens or Beijing could say.
Well, I think Putin has nothing to with this, it is just quite common to blame everything on him nowadays
