There will be a Spanish candidacy for the organization 2030 Winter Olympics. These are the words released by President of the Spanish Olympic Committee (COE) Alejandro Blanco in DM. ATl COE sent a press release at noon on Wednesday which featured that “the president of the Spanish Olympic Committee, Alejandro Blanco, the highest representative of the said body, has expressed their commitment to candidacy for the celebration of the winter Olympic Games.” . After reading the statement, which also stated that “the Spanish Olympic Committee will continue to work, as it does to date, in preparing the necessary documentation for the presentation of a candidacy project in Winter Games of the Pyrenees, Catalonia and Aragonwhich meets the technical requirements of International Olympic Committee and aligned with it ”, MD contacted Alejandro Blanco, who endorsed the words of the draft.

An agreement that, due to the unshakable and dissatisfied position of Aragonwho did not accept the technical agreement announced by COE at the end of last March, allowing a more ‘egalitarian’ distribution of sports and attacking unequal treatment, may seem almost impossible to come true, but Blanco assured that “there will be an agreement”, though, as directed he said on the occasion, “We have to hurry, we’re forced on time, but I’m confident we’ll get along. We’re in a race with no date limit, so when the project is over, we’ll say.”

Blanco announced the deadline for announcing the agreement on May 20, the choice of which was conditioned by Bach’s visit to Spain and the technicians of COE at the venues of the candidacy that must host 2030 Winter Olympicsvisits they have already made to other candidate areas, Salt Lake City (USA), Sapporo (Japan) and almost certainly Vancouver (Canada).

Bach’s visit to Spain is scheduled for June 1 and the reason for his trip has to do with a refugee project, a theme on which Spanish Olympic Committee was a pioneer, with the inauguration in June on Getafe ng Alejandro Blanco Sports Center, the first sports center for refugees. However, other issues will certainly be put on the table throughout the visit and one of them is the Pyrenees ’Winter Olympic bid.
