So my brief analysis has led me to believe that is actually a much closer decision than I had thought. I was certain that Rio would come out way ahead, I mean, it's Rio! But Sochi is also a resort city on the beach (though it will be winter). If NHL players are there, well, Hockey is a bigger draw that golf (yep, first time golf will be in the olympics!)...and crazy enough, it looks like it's cheaper to go to Russia than Brazil?
I'll keep dreaming :) Where will you be...
Wouldn't Australia have been the first Summer Olympics in winter?
ReplyDeleteGood question :) Apparently they were Sept 15- Oct. 1...early spring in Australia (from what I read!)
DeleteWow.. you're right. I never realized how inconsistent the starting of the Olympics is. It ranges from late July until the middle of September!
DeleteOh goodness, what a decision! I think I'd go with the awesome Summer in Winter, just because it's cool. :)
