XXIII Olympic Winter Games 2018 Working Group Report

The XXIII Olympic Winter Games will be celebrated in 2018. Three cities (“Applicant Cities”) have applied to become Candidate Cities to host these Games. In the order of drawing of lots carried out by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) Executive Board on 10 December 2009, the 2018 Applicant Cities are: MUNICH (GERMANY), ANNECY (FRANCE), PYEONGCHANG (REPUBLIC OF KOREA)

In order to perform its task and prepare this report, the IOC has commissioned a number of studies, appointed a number of experts, including experts from the International Federations (IFs), National Olympic Committees (NOCs) and the IOC Athletes’ Commission, and established an IOC Candidature Acceptance Working Group (hereafter the “Working Group”). The IOC has verified that none of the below-mentioned persons have been commissioned by any Applicant City, and their studies and reports have been carried out and submitted in full independence.

This report reflects the unanimous opinion of all members of the Working Group
