Lausanne (pps) The International Olympic Committee (IOC) in Lausanne has only received three bids to host the XXIII Olympic Winter Games. Annecy (France), Munich (Germany) and Pyeongchang (South Korea) were the only ones to submit their applications to the IOC before the closing date on October 15.
It is the first bid for Annecy, France; Munich already hosted Olympic Summer Games in 1972. Pyeongchang was unsuccessful with two previous bids for the 2010 and 2014 Winter Games.
The host city will be elected by the 123rd IOC Session in Durban, South Africa, on July 6, 2011.
