Best Cities to Host the 2026 Winter Olympics
Which City should win the title of hosting the 2026 Winter Olympics? Any city is okay.Honestly, the horrid tourists already there are bad enough. The terrain is also not the greatest for winter olympic sports. Also, the population of Iceland is too small. They wouldn’t have enough facility to handle everything(even with help).
There are so many reasons why Iceland should not host, and probably never will. Sorry.
Good way to boost Icelandic Tourism and Iceland's all-round reputation in the world.
Yeah I really want to see the Winter Olympics here, it looks pretty.
The olympics had never been to this part of Europe.
Would help the economy and Lithuania's image among the world. And two words: Andrius Pojavis.
I support Middlesbrough FC and I live in the area so I would love the 2026 winter Olympics here. Although it doesn't snow too much here. I though a place in Scotland would be better. Let's hope The Winter Olympics can finally come to my area!
Often gets so much snow all schools are shut and public transport grinds to a halt.
Great way to spring life in to the town. Would also bring lots of business.
I want Great Britain to host Winter Olympics please
A NY based Olympics with a focused host site in Lake Placid would be amazing. Bringing this world event back to a historic location will not only add an incredible amount of nostalgia, but also make use of preexisting facilities that would require renovation rather than a full fledged build of a new facility that may never be used again - decreasing any environmental damage and making better use of the funds invested in the event planning.
I like the idea of Lake Placid and NYC co-exhibiting, that makes a lot of sense! Combined it would be the perfect and Ideal location for the Winter Olympics! One day you can check out some events in the city that never sleeps NYC and another day enjoy some events in the beautiful scenic and tranquil city of Lake Placid! Sounds awesome and would bring a lot of people!
Great small city with ability to host big Olympic events. Just needs some infrastructure improvement, and New York City could host the big spectator events (Ice events and opening ceremony). If IOC is serious about promoting more financially viable events, then Lake Placid is the perfect place to start and show it is possible!
Lake Placid is still used to train both Winter and Summer Olympians. Most of the facilities are in good condition and still used regularly. The city is practically ready to host the Olympics already!
Nicely Sized Northern Swedish City. (Also Niklas Edin is from there. He's so awesome! )
Perfect, near Russia so it will be like Sochi which was amazing. Would also help Kazakhstan develop.
Large Good Kazakh City. Would help the economy in Kazakhstan.
Should be first since it has all the facilities already, just gotta update them
I have been there its would be wonderful place to hold the olympics
Just the best country to host any Olympics. GO Canada!
Winter Olympics will be a huge success in Calgary!
Salt Lake hosted one of the better Winter Olympics. They already have all of the infrastructure in place. If the IOC was interested in a profitable, affordable winter games in a place that is perfectly suited for the games again then Salt Lake should be near the top of their list.
They already have all the facilities they need to host. It has been used since 2002 and is in good condition, so this would be a smart financial move.
Everything that is needed to host the Olympics is already here and is constantly being used and upgraded... Why not?
Salt Lake is building a new state of the art airport that is only 40 minutes from 9 World Class Resorts!
Practically all year snow, Near great mountains for skiing, Will put Longyearbyen and Svalbard on the map and boost the economy and tourism of the area.
We could add polar bear hunting events (please don't sue me PETA).
There will most definitely be snow
Simply the best city in the whole world.
Best ski resorts, best medieval district...
This is the best city because they deserve it
Rather large Finnish City in Lapland near the Arctic Circle, Pretty good for a Winter's Olympics.
You should be reported "gay boy"
People think Argentina is hot! IT IS so COLD laugh out loud! Argentina it snows a lot and also very beautiful
Large Argentine city, Near a lot of mountains, Help boost Argentine Economy.
Should be at the top of the list. Perfect host city. Easy to get to, Great amenities already in place, ground zero for US ski team and home to several world class resorts. Nearby Beaver Creek has hosted the World Championships previously. Most logistical considerations already accounted for. Minimal new construction required.
31 Winter Olympians from Colorado. Eight medals awarded. More Olympians and medal winners in one state than most countries.
USA should host both winter and summer games in 2026 and 2028. Denver is beautiful and all set up to host winter sports. Go Denver!
Selected to host the 1976 games, though voters shot it down. Has substantial winter sports infrastructure.
Anchorage would be a great city to host the Winter Olympics.
How gorgeous would Winter Olympics in Alaska be?
That would be cool if vancouver hosted the winter olympics again in 2026
The 1960 olympics were hosted here, and with so many venues already built up in the area, not much money would have to be spent.
It's the safest city of Turkey. 25th winter universiade games were hosted here and it still has the attendance record for winter universiade games. I think Erzurum will host that succesfully.
Great scenery, beautiful landscape!
That would be cool if quebec city hosted the winter Olympics in 2026
Toronto is a great city! Deserves an Olympics!
They have perfect area for it and it is so nice there. I think it would be fun to see one in Boston. It would be a great atmosphere take it from me I go there all the time. Usually the weather would be cold but not to cold.
