S. Korea to host 2018 Olympics

After two stinging defeats in a decade of trying, the South Korean city of Pyeong-chang finally won its Olympic prize July 6, burying two European rivals in a landslide vote for the 2018 Winter Games. The Koreans lost narrowly in the final round of voting for the 2010 and 2014 Games, but this time they defeated Munich and Annecy, France, by winning an overwhelming 63 of 95 votes cast in the first round of the secret ballot. The victory for Pyeongchang in its third consecutive bid was largely unexpected. (AP)
