2018 Bid Process gets underway
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) today launched the bid process for the XXIII Olympic Winter Games in 2018. National Olympic Committees (NOCs) have been invited to submit the name of a city within their jurisdiction as an applicant to host the Games in a little under nine years' time. The key dates of the procedure are as follows:
Phase I - known as the candidature acceptance procedure, involves a thorough review by the IOC of each city's potential to organise the 2018 Olympic Winter Games. Cities will be asked to reply to a questionnaire. Their answers will be studied by the IOC in order to help the IOC Executive Board select the cities that will become Candidate Cities and therefore move on to Phase II.
