The official support for the Stockholm - Are 2026 project came through the words of Amanda Lind, Swedish Minister of Sport, who confirmed today that the entire government is united in supporting the Olympic organization that would bring back the five circles in the Kingdom of the Three Crowns after 114 years.
"It would be a great opportunity for Sweden to host the Olympic Games," Lind said in an interview with the TV4 television chain, "it would give a big boost to the entire sports movement. As Minister of Sport, I am satisfied with this decision which has having seen the united government ". "If the Games were assigned to us," he continued, "they would represent an opportunity for Sweden to show the world how big sporting events can take place in the future, without expensive investments, with a sustainable and respectful approach to the planet":
The manager of the candidacy, Richar Brisius, who in the past few days had gathered the support of the Latvian government to host the trials of Bob, Skeleton and Sledding in the gut of Sigulda, expressed his satisfaction for this much-desired decision: "We are happy that the Swedish government and our politicians think like us that the Games of 2026 represent an opportunity for Sweden and the Olympic movement ". "We have received tremendous support from citizenship, the business world and the various institutions in the country and it is fantastic that we now have the full support of the executive." And he concludes with a slogan that in the coming months will often echo: "This is what Made in Sweden really means, quality to rely on and passionate people who guarantee realization".
