Over at the indispensable gamesbids.com, there's the note that the South Korean city has already spent nearly $1.5 billion on a ski resort and another $1 billion on sport and infrastructure in their pursuit of the big prize. For their troubles, the South Korean government now gets to spend another $8 billion plus to get ready for the Games. Another indispensable site, aroundtherings.com cites the bid site's layout and ease of getting from venue to venue in a short period of time as major determining factors in the win. Despite the fact that the venue is nearly two hours from the nearest airport, there are plans to build a high-speed rail line to link the venue with Seoul.
So, take in the official promotional video for Pyeongchang and high-five a Korean guy today!
