Posted July 5, 201114 yr Tomorrow (July 6), in Durban, South Africa, during the IOC 123rd Session, the host city of the 2018 Winter Olympics will be announced. There are three candidates: PYONGCHEANG (South Korea): Will Pyongcheang be third time lucky after losing for 2010 and 2014? MUNICH (Germany): If it wins, Munich would be the first city to host both Summer (1972) and Winter Olympics. ANNECY (France): If it wins, this would be the fourth time France would host the Winter Olympics, after 1924, 1968 and 1992.
