A year before the host-city vote, the race for the 2018 Winter Olympics starts in earnest tomorrow when the IOC selects the candidates that will go forward to the final phase.
Unlike previous shortlist decisions, this one involves little suspense: All the contenders are expected to make the cut in what is already the smallest bidding field in three decades.
The International Olympic Committee executive board is likely to accept all three -- Annecy, France; Munich; and Pyeongchang, South Korea -- as official bid cities, removing their previous tag as "applicant" cities.
The three cities have been campaigning on a low-key basis since last October when they were the only ones to apply to host the games.
