maybe because south korea sucks at winter sports (except from shorttrack) and they only chose it for marketing reasons over classical winter sport nations like germany or france...

oh lawd

okay... so your saying because a country sucks at something, they shouldn't host it. ROFL

So US sucks at soccer and they hosted world cup in 1994 over countries such as Germany, Brazil. Lmk how much of your logic makes sense. damn trolls

not trolling, that's exactly my point:
usa or qatar shouldn't host the world cup, - australia, brazil or south korea shouldn't host winter olympics - burundi or ethiopia shouldn't host world economy summits and so on...

Korea won't exist in 2018 lmfao

But it happened, so deal with it.

huh? i'm dealing with it. frankly, i don't care much about it at all, i'm just explaining why it's a ridiculous choice because you asked:

that's all.

as you put it so nicely: it is a ridiculous choice for obviously dubious reasons but it's happened, so deal with it...

South korea is actually really good in speed and figure skating

That's what i said: Except from Shorttrack there isn't much. Doesn't make them a Winter Olympics nation in my opinion.
But i perfectly understand why they gave it to Korea: Asia is a huge market and they will profit enourmously from these games.

I just think it's not the way to go for the IOC, especially when you have the Olympic Idea in mind.

inb4 north korean bombs it and starts ww3
cause jealous all they are good at is play starcraft in korea.
