The Winter Olympics in Beijing 2022nd
It gets our Swedish stars to raise eyebrows.
Not optimal, think more. Anna Holmlund hope that sport can make a difference.
– It is the world’s largest country, an old dictatorship. Clear that they have much problem, she says.
Today it was announced that the Winter Olympics 2022 ports in Beijing after a narrow victory over the only competitor Almaty Kazakhstan.
– I heard it a minute ago. I did not even know they were looking for. There is much competition in the East. I do not even have any idea of how the slopes are or anything, says Alpine starlet Sara Hector; 22.
There are no snow there …
– But God, made up? It is a bit strange. It will certainly be good but it feels a little unkempt if they do not even have real snow.
“Important rights are observed”
Skicrosstjärnan Anna Holmlund, 27, sees problems with issues like democracy and Human Rights but hope that sport can make a difference.
– There will certainly be a great contest. It is an organizer with large resources. But at the same time it is important that all human rights are observed, she says.
Do you see a risk that it will not be so?
– I hope it becoming so. It is a difficult question. It is the world’s largest country, an old dictatorship. Clearly they have a lot of problems. I hope that sport can help to make things better for people there. You have to like the situation wherever you end up. There are a lot of politics at play that I can not influence, she says.
Sara Hector:
– Many places with large sporting events deficiencies democratic and at many other levels, and there is dull. Since it’s not really my place to decide if it is right or not.
“Always a bit of a compromise”
Jens Byggmark’m not sure that he is in 2022, and is not quite sure that it gets the best possible conditions on artificial snow in China.
– It is always a bit like the Olympics, it becomes a bit of a compromise and not offer the best value for a fair competition. But at the same time, we are
When it comes to the political issues he chooses not to respond.
– I seldom go into the political in my sporting career. If you have nothing to say about it, so it has no silly thing to say, he said.
“Important IOC alters”
SOK chairman Stefan Lindeberg sees Beijing as it waited for the election and think that the championship will live up to the requirements.
– There is criticism against both China and Kazakhstan. The problem is that there have been no other cities who applied, such as Stockholm. It is now important that the IOC is trying to change the conditions of increased transparency, financial support and so on.
