Hearty congratulations are due to the city of Pyeongchang, South Korea, after being named the host of the 2018 Winter Olympics. The city’s successful bid had a number of elements in its favor: a large number of world-class venues already in operation, strong public support, a fantastic presentation to the IOC featuring heavyweights such as President Lee Myung-bak and figure skating gold medalist Kim Yu-na, and most of all, the attractive message of opening new markets to winter sports.
