The
report's content is derived from the successful, productive and
very cordial visit of the Evaluation Commission
to Almaty in February
2015. The report gives a clear sign that Almaty's second
bid for the Olympic Winter Games benefits greatly from its
experience hosting multiple major winter sports events like the
successful Asian Winter Games in 2011, Universiade 2017 or just
recently the U23 FIS Nordic World Championships in
2015. Almaty'ssuccess
hosting events proves that it is well prepared to host the Olympic
Winter Games to the highest standards in 2022.
Mr Andrey
Kryukov, Vice Chairman of Almaty 2022
said: "First of all we would like to thank the International
Olympic Committee, the Evaluation Commission and IOC Member
Alexander Zhukov and Olympic Games Executive
Director Christophe
Dubi again for the very productive visit
to Almaty in
February and the report they made based on this visit. The report
clearly states that Almaty´s vision is fully embedded in the
Olympic Agenda 2020 and the city's long-term sports development
plan - a plan which started in 2011 with the hosting of the Asian
Winter Games - is working. Almaty has
already invested more than a billion US dollars in the development
of winter sports venues and will have 80% of all the venues
necessary for hosting the Winter Games finished by 2017."
