THE race to host the 2018 Winter Olympics is moving into a crucial phase after the three candidate cities met Monday's deadline for submitting preliminary bid files.
The International Olympic Committee said it received completed questionnaires from Annecy, France; Munich, Germany; and Pyeongchang, South Korea.
The so-called bid book "provides the IOC with an overview of each applicant city's project and is the key element in the first phase of the procedure leading to the election of the host city," the IOC said in a statement.
A working group will now prepare a report for the 15-member IOC executive board. The board, led by IOC president Jacques Rogge, meets June 21-23 in Lausanne, Switzerland, to confirm the official candidates.
The full IOC assembly will choose the 2018 host by secret ballot at its session in Durban, South Africa, on July 6, 2011.
Pyeongchang is bidding for the third straight time.
