No, not anywhere in the USA, I just really like this graphic. It went finally on their third try to Pyeongchang. Yes, South Korea was awarded 2018 Winter Olympics. As noted on http://www.msnbc.com/ The South Korean city of Pyeongchang was awarded the 2018 Winter Olympics on Wednesday after failing in two previous attempts.Pyeongchang defeated rivals Munich and Annecy, France, in a landslide in the first round of a secret ballot of the International Olympic Committee. Needing 48 votes for victory, Pyeongchang received 63 of the 95 votes cast. Munich received 25 and Annecy seven.
The Koreans had lost narrowly in previous bids for the 2010 and 2014 Olympics. "Koreans have been waiting for 10 years to host the Winter Games," bid leader Cho Yang-ho told The Associated Press. "Now we have finally achieved our dream." Pyeongchang will be the first city in Asia outside Japan to host the Winter Games. Japan held the games in Sapporo in 1972 and Nagano in 1998.
