The PyeongChang winter Games bid received another boost to their “Best of Korea” program ensuring the very best entertainment and cultural events to the region if PyeongChang wins the vote to host the Olympics in 2018.

Hundreds of supporters joined top bid leaders including bid ceo, Yang Ho Cho; Korea’s Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism, Byoung Gug Choung; Korean NOC President, Yong Sung Park; Bid Ambassador, Special Envoy of the Korean President,  Jin-sun Kim; and athlete Ambassadors including Tae-beom Mo, Seung-hoon Lee and Sang-hwa Lee.

Cho said: “With only a 100 days left until the IOC’s Host City announcement in Durban, we are delighted and moved by the wonderful support we have received at this celebration event.

“Today is an important moment to show PyeongChang’s passion for hosting the Winter Games and for the remainder of the campaign we are committed to highlighting how our vision of ‘New Horizons’ will contribute to the growth of winter sport.”

The supporters today also re-enacted the chorus that was done for the IOC Evaluation Visit last month and sang ABBA’s ‘I Have a Dream’. There were 2018 volunteers who burst into song at the Gangneung Ice Rink greeting the commission as they visited the venue.

Olympic Objectors Gather in Annecy


Anti-Olympic protestors in Annecy will seek to make their concerns more widely known at a press conference in the French Alpine city Tuesday.

The CAO,(Annecy Anti-Olympic Committee, says it wants to tell people about what "not only the excesses of the Olympics, the sport business, the financial stakes of multinationals and unacceptable demands of the IOC, but also on adverse impacts on the environment and on uncontrolled public spending with long-term debt for the Olympic city".

The group says it has collected 13,140 names for its petition opposing plans to bring the Winter Olympics to Annecy.

In a press release issued Monday, the opposition group cited information reported exclusively by Around the Rings that an IOC poll shows only 51 percent of the local population supports the Annecy candidacy.

Annecy 2018 on Monday marked the 100 days to go mark until the IOC vote in Durban by urging public support for the bid through its 500+ athlete backers.

Bid chief Charles Beigbeder underlined the importance of athletes in the development of the bid plans.

"We are delighted to have been able to unite the entire French sporting movement, including athletes of all disciplines, behind Annecy 2018," he said. "Their collective support and commitment in helping galvanize public support and promoting the bid around the world is vital as we enter the final straight in this campaign

Polar bear adds some extra bite to Munich 2018 campaign


Munich 2018 today began counting down the final 100 days before the International Olympic Committee (IOC) elects the host city for the 2018 Winter Olympics and Paralympics when they joined by a very special addition to the team: Giovanna the polar bear has become their newest official ambassador.

Giovanna, the star attraction at Munich's popular Hellabrunn Zoo, is to appear on large banners sporting her Munich 2018 scarf that will promote the bid to up to 17,000 people who visit the zoo daily.

Giovanna is a former companion of Knut, the polar bear who became a superstar at Berlin Zoo.

The two shared a enclosure in Berlin while Giovanna's den in Munich was being renovated and it was hoped that the two would one day mate.

Giovanna moved back to Munich while Knut collapsed and died unexpectedly earlier this month at the age of four.

Giovanna is now arguably Germany's most famous polar bear.

Jürgen Bühl, the managing director of Munich 2018, was thrilled to be entering the campaign's final push.

"The final 100-day countdown has started. Having such a successful IOC Evaluation Commission visit pushed our bid forward," he said.

"We are entering the home straight and we want to cross the finishing line in first place

"We are now preparing for the next important milestones: SportAccord from 3 to 8 April [in London]; and the technical presentation to the IOC in Lausanne in May.

"It is very important for us to use the international presentations to communicate our strengths to the world of sport's most influential players and share with them our vision of a holistic Festival of Friendship."

Munich 2018 also announced plans for a series of events in Bavaria on July 6, the day the IOC will pick its host city at its Session in Durban on July 6.

The announcement from IOC President Jacques Rogge will be broadcast live onto a huge screen on Munich's historic Marienplatz.

Annecy and Pyeongchang are also bidding for the 2018 Games.

Munich 2018 Express Takes Maiden Voyage to Promote Winter Olympic Bid


Munich 2018, the German city’s bid to host the winter Olympic Games in 2018, on Friday began receiving extra exposure when the Munich 2018 Express, a train promoting the bid, which is backed by national sponsor Deutsche Bahn, took its maiden voyage between Munich and Garmisch-Partenkirchen, the site for many of the Alpine events if the city’s bid to host the games is successful.

The train also travelled on the route between Munich and Salzburg in Austria.

The passenger train will continue to travel the routes until July 6, the day when the International Olympic Committee is due to select the host city.

Munich is bidding against Annecy in France and PyeongChang in Korea to host the games.  All three bids gave presentations at the general assembly of the Oceania National Olympic Committees in New Calaedonia at the weekend, with Munich 2018 focusing on its plans for a 'Festival of Friendship.'

Bernhard Schwank, chief executive of the bid committee, said: "‘Germany wants to share our state-of-the-art facilities and athlete friendly environment with every NOC in the Olympic family—winter and summer: Munich 2018 is committed to using our excellent resources to help strengthen the Olympic Movement worldwide. Munich 2018’s concept is a clear commitment to the long-term health and sustainability of winter sports from one of the world’s most successful winter sports nations."

Weber Shandwick Appointed by Munich 2018 to Support International Public Relations


Munich 2018, a Bid Committee for Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games, has appointed Weber Shandwick to support its international communications campaign.

The Munich 2018 international communications campaign fully adheres to and respects the International Olympic Committee (IOC) rules and processes on the use of international communications for the Bid Committees.

Weber Shandwick was a driving communications force in Sochi's successful bid when the International Olympic Committee chose the city of Sochi, Russia, as the host city for the 2014 Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games in a close race against South Korea's PyeongChang and Austria's Salzburg. Weber Shandwick was responsible in leading the 16-month global public relations campaign for Sochi's Bid to demonstrate the city's and country's ability to stage great Games.

Weber Shandwick has significant experience managing global integrated communications campaigns for winning Olympic and event bid efforts and Olympic Organising Committees in the past 20 years, including most recently Sochi 2014 Bid and Sochi 2014 Organising Committee, Beijing 2008 and Turin 2006, among others.

"We are extremely happy to be able to work with Weber Shandwick. The agency's ability to develop impactful international campaigns, expertise and experience in Olympic and sport bidding, geographical spread we need and strong presence in Munich have been the decisive factors to select it as our international public relations partner and we have been happy with its support around major Olympic events to date," said Bernhard Schwank, Managing Director of the Munich 2018 Bid.

Colin Byrne, CEO UK and EMEA said: "We are honoured to be engaged to support Munich 2018. Our goal is to provide a winning global communications programme for Munich 2018 and support them throughout their journey across the world. Our Global Olympics practice, which helped lead the past three Weber Shandwick bidding campaigns including Sochi 2014, will bring to bear the best bidding and campaigning experts we have in our roster to support this effort."
