Summer in South America, winter in South Korea
Summer in South America, winter in South Korea
GERALD IMRAY (The Associated Press)  06:14:17AM (DST) Thursday 7.7.11 DURBAN, South Africa (AP) — First South America, now South Korea. The Olympics will be breaking ground again when Pyeongchang hosts the 2018 Winter Games. After a decade of trying and two painful defeats, the South Korean city finally won its Olympic prize Wednesday, crushing two European rivals in a landslide vote for the 2018 Games and taking the event to the Asian country for the first time. Pyeongchang's overwhelming victory in a secret ballot of IOC members was a resounding endorsement of the bid campaign pledge to expose winter sports to a hungry new market in Asia. The victory followed the IOC's trend in recent votes, having taken the Winter Games to Russia (Sochi) for the first time in 2014 and given South America its first Olympics with the 2016 Summer Games in Rio de Janeiro. --------------------------------------------------------------------- *...and there you have it. *
