The problem with a list of cities that have not hosted the
Olympic Games is that almost every city in the world meets that criterion. Which is why the article was moved from that title to this one; the redirect is an artifact of the move and shouldn't be taken to have any real meaning regarding the

redirects to this page. However, this is a misnomer, since my idea of "not hosting the
Olympic Games" is that a city has indeed never hosted the Games in its history. Cities that may have failed in bids to host the Olympics may have still ended up hosting the Olympics, as in the case of Athens and

successful bids. For example: Montreal; Lake Placid; Lillehammer; Los

Olympic Games at all. Either we can correct the links, or make a color coding scheme to indicate which cities on this page's list were able to host the Olympics. Thanks.

contents of this list. That being said, it would be nice to have an indication of which of the cities in the list have also had successful bids. Simply another column would probably do the trick, I'll get to work on it. --

The thing we'll need to distinguish on this page is that there are two kinds of failed bids. There are the "applicant cities", and then the "candidate cities" (usually ~5). -
