The 2018 Winter Olympics is going to be in Pyeongchang, S. Korea!
Interesting choice over it being in France
Anyone have experience of skiing in Korea?

this is really sick actually...

their proposal made the most sense in terms of logistics, and i think it will be really cool to further expose asia to the freeskiers already throwing down on their continent

Yeew At least us Australians love the man made snow!

I didn't even think it had a chance vs Annecy and Munich. Should be a very interesting Olympics.

When they choose the next olympics they have to switch continent, it´s always been like this, Last winter´s 2010 in Vancouver Canada, the one before, Torino Italy in 2006, the one in 2002 Salt Lake city, and so on, the 2014 comes back to europe in Sochi Russia 2014. adn then Korea in 2018, so perhaps america, or europe could have it again...
