Barcelona's Commemorative Video Ends With Hint At Bid For 2030 Winter Games

An act to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the 1992 Barcelona Olympics "concluded with a declaration of intent regarding a future bid for the Winter Games," according to Marta Pérez of MUNDO DEPORTIVO. A video "showing the path the Olympics have taken appeared to end with Tokyo 2020, but kept playing for a few more seconds until 2030 appeared on screen." In May, Barcelona "announced that it was no longer bidding to host the 2026 Winter Olympics," but execs "highlighted the city's commitment to the Olympic movement and did not rule out a future bid." This "wink at 2030, although nothing is official, is a clear demonstration that Barcelona authorities are considering the project" (MUNDO DEPORTIVO, 7/25).
