Will the Winter Olympic Games be held outside of North America, Europe, or Asia (e.g., in South America or Africa) before the end of 2030?

The Ice Curtain

The Winter Olympic Games require massive, specialized infrastructure, including dedicated bobsled tracks, ski jumps, and consistent, natural snowfall or highly reliable snow-making capacity. Historically, only regions with deep winter sports traditions and a mountain climate have been viable hosts (simulated late 2025 context). The overwhelming 'No' vote reflects the current state of IOC host city selections. No South American or African nation currently possesses the required infrastructure or climate to host the Winter Games, and the logistical challenges are deemed insurmountable on a timeline as short as before the end of 2030.
