Sapporo officially drops bid for 2030 Winter Olympics
Quick Glance: JOC and Sapporo withdraw bid for 2030 Winter Games
  • Sapporo and the Japanese Olympic Committee have officially decided to withdraw the northern Japanese city as a candidate to host the 2030 Winter Olympics.

  • The decision was made due to massive corruption and bid-rigging tied to the one-year delayed 2020 Tokyo Games.

  • Stockholm is now seen as the favorite for 2030, while Salt Lake City is almost certain to be picked for 2034 by the International Olympic Committee.

  • Japan officially spent about $13 billion to hold the 2020 Games, though a government audit has suggested the true amount might be twice that much.
