Ukraine’s Lviv pulls out of 2022 Games bid

THE Ukrainian city of Lviv withdrew its bid for the 2022 Winter Olympics yesterday, becoming the third contender to drop out of the race for the Games.

Lviv pulled out because of the continuing political and security crisis in Ukraine, where government forces are battling an insurgency by pro-Russian separatists. Lviv officials said they would now focus on bidding for the 2026 Winter Games instead. Lviv’s withdrawal follows the earlier pullouts of Stockholm and Krakow, Poland. Three cities remain in contention: Almaty, Kazakhstan; Beijing, and Oslo.
