Re: 2010
Here's the article I found. The Title of it was like "Details of Salzburg's 2010 Bid" or something. Not sure how accurate it is....
WHERE: Events would be held in Salzburg, a historic city of 150,000 nestled in the Alps about 220 kilometers (137 miles) west of Vienna; the Kitzbuehel ski resort 73 kilometers (45 miles) to the southwest, and in the Amade region, 65 kilometers (41 miles) southeast of Salzburg. The bid includes 12 venues.
COST: The operating budget is about $900 million, covered by revenue from broadcast rights, sponsorships, ticket sales and licensing fees.
FACILITIES: All snow venues are in place. An ice hockey arena, a figure skating hall and a speed skating oval would be built. A smaller ice hockey arena would need upgrading.
GETTING AROUND: Railways, highways and roads connect all venues. Tickets will include public transportation to the competition sites. Salzburg's W.A. Mozart airport is located within city limits, just 5 kilometers (3 miles) from the city center and 1 kilometer (0.6 miles) from the main Olympic Village. Munich's airport is 176 kilometers (109 miles) to the northwest. Direct trains run to Vienna, Munich, Zurich and several other cities.
BID MASCOT: "Snowmo," a combination of a snowball and Salzburg's most famous son - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - was thought up by a 9-year-old girl who won a newspaper competition with her creation. The giant snowball on legs features a smiling face with rosy cheeks, topped by a Mozart-style wig. "Snowmo" sometimes holds a violin in one hand and skis in the other.
