Saudi Arabian Bid Team, 2024 Olympic Games Dear friends, as you well know, the world will converge on Rio de Janeiro next year, and on Tokyo in 2020, to celebrate the greatest international sporting festival - the Olympiad, which has since ancient times inspired athletes to be the best they can be and to push the limits of human endeavour and of the human body itself. To this end, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia is proud to announce that it is preparing a bid package which will be revealed soon to show a modernising, inspiring Olympics that would take place in Riyadh, and other cities around the Kingdom in 2024. An Olympiad in the Middle East is long overdue. Our beautiful, holy region, the cradle of civilisation, has never hosted this great sporting event and I would invite all nations to support this noble idea which will combine the best of East and West. We also invite our neighbouring nations to attach their support to a Co-Bid. |

It certainly cannot be held in one or the other since in fact their are a joint Olympic committee and Olympic team. In the honorable gentleman's own statement he said that they should consult the IOC about hosting it in their country, BUT hosting in one without the other would be excluding part of your own Olympic committee as done before in previous Olympics. (OOC: I thought you were from Korea. In the past they have been joint. Even when they hosted the world cup it was north and south not just one without the other) |

President of the Korean Olympic Committee Following is the Olympic Charters of the IOC regarding host city.
As you see, the events should held within the same country so we do not consider the possibility of co-hosting the Winter Olympic Games with North Korea. Edited by doubleG, Apr 21 2014, 11:27 PM.
