OSLO, Norway (AP) Oslo will bid for the 2022 Winter Olympics, seeking to bring the games back to Norway for the first time since Lillehammer in 1994.
"We have not yet sent the letter to the IOC but we're going to it within the deadline," bid committee spokeswoman Ingunn Olsen told The Associated Press on Thursday.
Nov. 14 is the deadline for submission of bids to the International Olympic Committee.
Oslo hosted the Winter Olympics in 1952. The 1994 Lillehammer Games are considered among the most successful Winter Olympics ever.
Oslo joins a field of declared candidates that also includes the Ukrainian city of Lviv; Beijing and the northern Chinese city of Zhangjiakou; and Almaty, Kazakhstan.
