2018 Winter Olympics: Pyeongchang, South Korea
2020 Summer Olympics: Tokyo, Japan
2022 Winter Olympics: Beijing, China

It's as if the west pretty much got tired of bidding on these things. Watch 2024 go to Qatar.

Nope, UAE will get it in 2024.

they will probably be bankrupt by then.

I'll watch the opening and closing ceremonies and that's about it...

Ah yes, having to wake up at 2-3am to watch events or better yet, tape-delays!!

Russia 2018 and Qatar 2022 won't be ideal viewing hours for the World Cup either. 2016 Rio Olympics could be the last global event that we'll be able to view in a convenient time slot for a while.

WTF - how is Beijing cold enough to host a winter Olympics?

They thought the snow was bad at Sochi. Yikes.

They have mountains near Beijing capable of hosting the downhill? Seriously?

If I take up curling 1 month prior to qualifications, I could easily qualify.

The winter Olympics pale in comparison to the summer Olympics in every way. Tv ratings, entertainment value, drama, storylines etc.

I always watch as much of the summer olympics as possible. I barely notice the winter Olympics besides hockey.

My phone isn't letting me see that image for some reason. I'll catch it later toothpick.

Summer games should have table shuffleboard. Geez, curling is pretty much the same.

I read they have mountains like 200K away where the snow events will be.

Stars - if you had to sweep a rock the length of the ice to drag it an extra 3 feet, you'd have a coronary. Sorry broseph.

Pretty much, if you go on Canada's version of ESPN.Com(http://www.tsn.ca/" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;), more times than not, curling is on the front page during competition.
