Winter Olympics 2022!?

[Vincenzo]

Could the Winter Olympics in 2022 be hosted in Dubai!?

Or................ IS THAT MARS!!!?????!?!?

 

[TheClap.]

deff mars

 

[1337]

That'd be the most fucking insane feat of engineering and I'd totally support something that radical happening

 

[TheClap.]

they do have enough money for it

 

[1337]

dubai is insane

 

[250r]

i have a feeling that a greenhouse exterior isnt ideal for a ski hill in dubai...

 

[Vincenzo]

What if they had solar panels instead of windows to power the whole resort?

 

[selkirks]

No they don't. Dubai's is in a deeper hole than we are. Have you seen the unfinished projects list?

 

[Funnel]

Yep, Dubai is a huge misnomer.

 

[crab_pretzel]

i think were onto something

 

[1337]

why don't we take all the unfinished projects, and turn them all into this big ski arena!

Good luck getting 2500 vertical for the downhill...

 

[PJS.]

bitch please, they barely have money for basic utilities right now...

 

[Spinoza]

a downhill race course is so long. wtf that would be score +1 for earth

 

[250r]

ahh well that would just be a small hiccup in the project, they could just connect it to the top of burj dubai, problem solved

 

[crab_pretzel]

they could just create a treadmill-type snow surface so that it just scrolls through 2500 vertical even though its only like 100 feet vertical. and it should have scissoring spikes at the top so if you fall when its started moving fast, youre fucked. you know, to add suspense and improve ratings

 

[roddy116]

i bet they do

 

[Inline.]

By 2022, that's the only type of skiing we'll be able to do.

 

[DERS.]

no dude that would not be good...

read this extremely powerful LONG article if you want to learn more about worker abuse in dubai.

http://unofficialnetworks.com/6-cities-bid-2022-winter-olympics-126488/

Final 6 cities that got their bids in:

1. Almaty (Kazakhstan)

2. Beijing (China)

3. Krakow (Poland)

4. Lviv (Ukraine)

5. Oslo (Norway)

6. Stockholm (Sweden)



* Munich (Germany), Barcelona (Spain) and Davos + St Moritz (Switzerland) expressed an interest but pulled out following a lack of public support.

Semi related. I've always wanted to hit an indoor ski place. Maybe they'll actually finish the one in Jerz at some point.

Just have to wait. Shouldn't be long

 

[Benson.]

Stockholm all the way! Or Oslo, which would be my second choice

 

[Backyard.Skier]

they have my full support

 

[Sallabillz]

I thought it was going down in south Korea

 

[TRASHTALK]

I'm no economist, but maybe if they stopped by Lambo's to use as cop cars, they could afford the basic necessities.

 

[*DUMBCAN*]

This would be interesting. Has any individual city ever hosted both the summer and winter olympics?

 

[bieberhole69.]

thats 2018

 

[parry]

that would be awesome. no worry for wind and shitty weather on comp day

 

[whoa-dere]

YES!

 

[corona]

nope. but Stockholm could also make it a first if they get it

 

[FuckAllOfYou]

Liking Kazakhstan, Krakow and Lviv. We need some eastern european/former soviet bloc countries on the world's radar. It would be good for them. Almaty's a cool city too, we had some family friends that stayed there for a couple years. Really cool place. They also have good bikers there.
