fairly earily stage as the sensible politicians in the Stockholm town hall
said no. But! They are at it again, contemplating a bid for 2026, and since
last time, the town hall now has a different colour. The whole thing is
just crazy. Most of the alpine events are planned to be in Åre which is
some 750 km away. For the nordic ski events they are looking at a quarry
some 25 km outside of time. I can just imagine how fun it will be down
in the hole when it's raining and it's a few degrees above zero (which
it may well be in beginning of February) and all the melt water runs
down into it.
Oh well, while they might waste some time on it, they will still not
make it very far.
