SEOUL, South Korea (AP) β A South Korean governor has rejected an International Olympic Committee proposal to move the bobsled and luge events for the 2018 Winter Games in Pyeongchang to another country to save money.
Gangwon Province Governor Choi Moon-soon says relocating the events to other destinations wouldn’t help save costs because Pyeongchang has already begun building its venue for sliding sports.
The IOC, which is trying to cut costs for hosts, had requested the South Korean organizers move the sports to another city to prevent leaving Pyeongchang with a venue that will have little use after the games.
