New York to explore joint bid for dual-host Winter Olympics
Summary

New York State is forming an exploratory committee to assess the feasibility of co-hosting a future Winter Olympics with Lake Placid and New York City. Governor Kathy Hochul announced the initiative, which aims to evaluate the possibility of a bid that could reflect the dual-hosting model utilized for the ongoing Games in Milan and Cortina. The earliest potential date for the Olympics would be 2042, considering that Salt Lake City is poised to host in 2034 and Switzerland is a front-runner for 2038. The committee will take around a year to complete its work, but this step does not confirm an official bid at this time.
