I've always said that the primary reason the US has never been very good in the sledding events is due to the lack of training facilities.

We made significant strides this olympics and I suspect it's due to the facilities at both Salt Lake City and Lake Tahoe that are now being used to train our athletes.......

If it were up to me, I’d choose the following sites as PERMANENT OLYMPIC sites where they can rotate every 4 years...

SUMMER OLYMPICS

Los Angeles (this made profits for the city in 1932 and 1984. Facilities still being used )

Sydney (this made a profit too and was one of the best venues ever. Facilities still being used )

Seoul ( This made a record profit in 1988. facilities still being used )

London ( This made about 53 million pounds in profit ).

WINTER

Salt Lake City ( This made over a hundred million in profits and the facilities are still being used )

Calgary ( made about 35 million Canadian in profit in 1988 ).

Lillehammer, Norway ( I think they broke even, but the facilities are still being used by Norway, the Dutch and the Swedes )
