The Sapporo bid for the 2030 Winter Olympics is a proposed bid to bring the 2030 Winter Olympics to the city of Sapporo, Japan.[1] Sapporo previously hosted the 1972 Winter Olympics, the first time that the Winter Olympics were held in Asia. They also hosted the FIS Nordic World Ski Championships 2007.
Sapporo 2030 was the first official bid for the 2030 Winter Olympics.[2]
Sapporo was initially considered to bid for the 2026 Winter Olympics, but was withdrawn on 17 September 2018.
Due to the cost overrun from the postponement of the 2020 Summer Olympics and facing a very likely situation of withdrawing the bid, a revised budget that was released which would lower the cost of the games to between 280 billion and 300 billion yen.[3]
A recent report which was released before the start of the Beijing games showed that, due to the climate change, by the end of century, Sapporo might be the only city among the 21 cities to have hosted the Winter Olympics to be able to provide a fair and safe conditions to host the Winter Olympics.[4]
