There are already three possible bidders to host the Winter Olympics in the future, the IOC said Friday. Previous Winter Games hosts Salt Lake City and Sapporo have been joined by 1992 Summer Games host Barcelona, where temperatures rarely drop below 7 degrees Celsius (45 degrees Fahrenheit) in February. Previously, a two-year campaign would lead to an IOC vote seven years before the games. Salt Lake City and Sapporo previously hosted Winter Games in 2002 and 1972, respectively. Also, South Korea was chosen to host the 2024 Winter Youth Olympics as the only candidate.
