Re: Well done Norway!

Doesn't actually seem that high a price to pay for the economic benefits and regeneration an Olympic games can bring. Good on Norway for making a stand, but I would suggest it's probably their loss in the long run - far more likely is that they knew they weren't going to win the bid and pulled out in this way to save face.
