IOC Coordination Commission Press Conference PyeongChang 2018
With PyeongChang 2018 now less than a year away, the International Olympic Committee (IOC)’s Coordination Commission wrapped-up its eighth visit (13-15 March 2017) to the Korean host city confident that athletes and fans in 2018 would have a unique Olympic Winter Games experience. Speaking at the end of the meeting, Coordination Commission Chair Gunilla Lindberg said, “For fans coming from near and far to witness history, great sport will mix with culture, Korean hospitality and a party atmosphere, as people from around the world gather in celebration at the Olympic Plaza’s medal ceremonies in PyeongChang and the Olympic Park in Gangneung. The proximity of the mountain and coastal clusters will even allow fans to see a snow and an ice sport on the same day. This special combination of factors means that both the athletes and the fans will have a unique experience at the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018.”
