Global Pulse: Winter Olympics 2014- Winner and Loser

[sakikatana]

@KellyRulezzzz: shame on you and your lack of spelling skills. Korea may be beautiful, but Russia is beautiful as well. I don't belong to either nationality but I think they and all other nations need to be treated equally. There's no such thing as a 'good' or 'bad' country.

RUSSIA deserved this victory!!we also have been prepairing for several years for it!just like all other countries which were in this competition!!so shame on those who say some disgusting and provocative words about this victory!IT WAS FAIR and can u just get rid of ur steriotypes which are already out of time??))

nevertheless this will not spoil our Olympic Games which will be wonderful and breathtaking!!!)

[stirrednotshaken7]

Everyone knows Russians bought this Olympics. It came to light in recent weeks that one of the Olympic committee members admitted it. IOC has always been corrupt just like FIFA choosing Qatar for 2024 World Cup. A tiny country with no football tradition. Oil money bought it.

Can you imagine playing football in the desert in summer??? Players gonna die from the heat.

Pyeongchang was robbed!

I LOVE RUSSIA Im russian my self and im proud but 4 me it doesnt matter where the host it atleast it didnt matter intil i learnd about Geography see the problem with Korea is thats its on the earhquack boundary and there could be and earthquack wich will ruin everytg=hing and it will be sad.....

[KellyRuleszzzz]

EWW wtf? Russia won? EWW russia is so ugly! Korean should have to go the olympics cuz korean is beautiful and kim yu na is korean. Also russian sounds ugly and korean sounds beautiful. Lol what now!!! Sochi is in war right now! Great they are now canceling the olympics! They should have stuck with the right descision and choose the beautful Korea. I am not korean but i luv korea. Go KOREAN, USA, AND Canada!!!!

@KellyRuleszzzz u r so mean to RUSSIA)) i m RUSSIAN and i m not a patriot but why should u insult people's country)) that not nice..RUSSIA have very beautiful nature and very beautiful women and we are really love our country..even if our politicians are retards and very corrupt...but we are proud that we are largest country in the world, that we are richest country of natural resources...we are proud that in RUSSIA live more than 140 nationalities) We never insult other nations - is our culture

From an American, I believe that Pyeongchang will win the 2018 Winter Olympics. I believe in continental rotation for major international sporting events, including the Olympics. So, that means that Munich or Annecy won't be getting the Games because they're in Europe.

[limhongju2001]

thank you man i also hope usa will host summer olympic next time!! Good luck!

[scorpioninpink]

@keithlaney but america is not bidding for 2018??? i hope an alaskan city bids for 2022...

[keithlaney]

@scorpioninpink I understand that no North American city is bidding for the 2018 Winter Olympics, but that wasn't the point of my comment. When I say that I believe in continental rotation for major international sporting events, I meant that no continent should host consecutive major international sporting event. Hopefully, you have a better understanding now. On a lighter note, I do hope that a city in Alaska bids for a future Winter Olympics.

3:00 LOL ROTFL LMAO !

[koweanboi]

Ok no racist shit here.

umm.. What is so good about hosting it ? someone explain to me ?

[thegreendestiny]

Korean need to stop being bitter, move on and stick to making their dramas.

[microlaser2]

We see the real Korean tradional smell coming from 2018 the mountains of PyeongChang.

Let's all get up Koreans and work all of our hearts to win our final bid,the 2018!!!

[sweetyboo6]

I wanted KOREA!!!!!!!!

[KysonMoon]

well done sochi. I hope you guys host the Olympics beautifully. and for Pyeongchang best of luck on 2018 Olympics.

[kimipo]

congratulation Sochi. Nevertheless I hoped in 2007 that Pyoengchang would win. That's a pity that only because of financial support by Gazprom (12billion$) the olympic judge decided that Sochi wins...thereto i can only say: MONEY RULES OUR WORLD, NOTHING ELSE MATTERS......SHAME =(

[sonya1729]

@kimipo

shame on u that u are just being brainwashed and so easily being manipulated..

[sonya1729]

@kimipo besides if there were so easily bought may be the shame should be put on judges who sell their honour so easy???)))do not u think my dear?))

[sanghyunjeon]

As a Korean, I am really sad. Both cities did really well, and Pyeongchang should not be looked down. I also went there and it was beautiful enough to compete with Sochi in Russia. I hope Pyeongchang wins bid for 2018. For my Russian friends who cried for me; thanks to you guys. :)

[01cosmopolitan]

yeah dear Koreans dont make of your loss a tragic event! A life doesnt end with that! I hope Pyeongchang will host Winter Olympic Games 2018! Good luck! And now we are waiting for you in Sochi!

[Demoesceptico]

Vancouver 2010, Sochi 2014, Pyeongchang 2018???

Santiago de Chile for the Winter Olympic Games of 2022!!!

[Alcan196]

@Demoesceptico so we are gona have the winter games in july when 75% of the world that participates in these olympics have winter 6 months earlier. ya cant ever see the winter games in south america, or really anywhere below the equator.

[AClassFighter]

Fuck all protesters! They ain't doing shit except being annoying. Go Russia.

[15XG]

FUCK PUTIN !!!"Russia has never had the honor of hosting the winter games"(burn in HELL PUTIN !!!) FUCKING RACISTS ...they influenced the bid !!! FUCK POLTICS AND THE RUSSIAN FEDERATION FOR THEIR LUST FOR CONTROL !!!!ONE DAY YOU'LL BE BURIED IN YOUR OWN SINS YOU FREAKING MONSTERS !

Peyongchang was definitely the best choice: higher scores, better business plan ,everything !

[AClassFighter]

Pyongchang??? heh???? Socchi is way better! You dumbass. I'm an Australian and I love Russia alot and I think Russia is 1 of the coolest country ever right next to Australia, Hong Kong, Thailand.
