The history of these Games 2022 finally begins. For the beginnings were chaotic with packages avalanche among the cities declared candidates. Stockholm (Sweden), Oslo (Norway), Krakow (Poland), Munich (Germany), Lviv (Ukraine) all remote facing the financial risk that demand such an organization. The recent example of Sochi 2014 (Russia), the bill came to the high end to more than 30 billion euros, has cooled everyone.

In total, it amounts to $ 3 billion, divided into two parts: the operation, valued at 1.55 billion dollars, and spending on construction, valued at 1.51 billion dollars. The budget does, however, take into account the transport project expenditures (TGV) and hospitality infrastructure, valued at $ 5 billion.
