Athletistic / Others. The Spanish National Olympic Committee declined to submit a bid to host the 2030 Winter Olympics. It was originally expected that Catalonia and Aragon would submit a joint bid. Later, the regions had disagreements over the request, after which Catalonia intended to file it alone.

But Spanish NOC President Alejandro Blanco has said the country will no longer bid to host the 2030 Olympics.

“Of course, that hurts me more than in the case of Madrid, whose application was not accepted. We destroyed all the houses, even though the project was magnificent. We couldn’t agree on the inside.

The image we created for the IOC and the international press was not the best,” Blanco said.
