The host for the 2016 Summer Olympics is Rio de Janeiro. The 2012 Summer Olympic games will be held in London from July 27 to August 12. And the quest for the 2018 Winter Olympics host is on. Munich is one of the interested parties and former Olympic skier Willy Bogner has been named as its head. Bogner is a former two-time Olympian skier and later became involved in making and directing movies. He was a longtime member of Germany's National Olympic Committee. Bogner, 67, owns a sports apparel company that carries fashion lines in tennis, golf, and sunglasses.
The deadline for the submission of the applications for interested parties was on October 15, 2009. The application fee was USD$150,000. The final election will be held on July 6, 2011 in Durban, South Africa.
South Korea and France are expected to bid. China will not submit a bid to host the Winter Olympics in 2018.
