Chile or Argentina are good examples, not to mention the fact that probably New Zealand could host it as well (there are ski resorts in the Southern Alps, right?).

Totally Forgot about New Zealand, such a beautiful country.

i probably have relatives there but i have no clue. great grandparents moved to the states and lost contact with anyone back there. this is good though. will put a lot of money into the local economy.

As for Russia's win. DUH, who else could win, when Putin was there when they decided.

Bahaha

New Zealand couldn't organise a piss-up in a pub.

The snow there is amazing, but the surrounding towns are tiny. They'd basically have to build a whole new city to support the winter Olympic games. Also, the infrastructure on the mountains themselves is pretty underdeveloped.

...and, as Mr Eros was so kind to point out, it's the middle of winter down here now.

I think that it's great that Russia got the Olympics, Moscow lost the bid for the 2012 Summer Olympics so I think a Winter Games is a good consolation prize. Putin supposedly did a lot to push for these games. I've never been to an Olympic games and I would DEFINITELY like to go to this one because one it's in what I consider a dream vacation spot (um the Black Sea) and two I am partial to winter sports

Except Argentina has the opposite seasons as the Northern Hemisphere, so while it would be winter in Argentina (I believe starting in June) the majority of the tv viewing audience would be in a summer season. So, you will never nor should you ever have a Winter Olympics in the Southern Hemisphere.
