It's back to Beijing for the Olympics in 8 years, except this time its for the Winter Games, something China has never before hosted.
Given all the bad juju going on around the USOC retracting their Boston 2024 Summer Games bid, Sochi's $50 billion tab for Winter 2012, and the dearth of viable bids for the Olympics in general due to the enormous economic toll it seems to take (where it once brought prosperity), the fanfare over announcement of Beijing is somewhat dampened.
But I'm still excited, because OLYMPICS.
