Lillehammer ruling out bid for 2026 Winter Olympics
TOKYO — The man who organized the most popular Winter Olympics 24 years ago in the Norwegian ski resort of Lillehammer says it’s too soon to return in 2026.
But watch for Lillehammer in 2030.
“2026 would have been best for us, but I have to acknowledge the timing is not there,” Gerhard Heiberg told the Associated Press on Thursday.
He said organizers and politicians had too little time to work out details and financing, but called 2030 “more likely.”
