The 2014 Winter Olympics has finally been decided to take place in Sochi, Russia. These articles concern the two cities who were defeated [Salzburg, Austria and Pyeongchang, South Korea].

[Reported from Seoul]Ever since early in the morning as they were waiting for the event in front of (some place, sorry can’t read), 3000 citizens wearing hachimaki and native clothes protested. “It couldn’t we helped. It’s because we’re a small country” said a 30-ish Seoul company employee. “Did the concerned swing votes get counted?” “No wonder, Russia has a lot of national funds and political influence”, etc., the media analyzed Korea’s diplomatic power.

[Reported from Berlin] When Salzburg’s defeat was decided, there was big disappointment in the city. “The Olympic fire could not be lighted in Salzburg” was the main caption published. In the photos, the Olympics personnel covered their faces with both hands (LOL FACEPALM) and sighed. After receiving news of the defeat, the Austrian Olympics ambassador said, “It is indeed very regrettable. Right now blood is pouring from my heart.” The disappointment stated was a little exaggerated. Still, the ambassador and staff member’s presentation was given with sunken shoulders “Salzburg was struck down by two mighty cities.” Austria has already held the Olympics twice, but Salzburg, being the place where Mozart was born, gives off the elegant feel of a “music city”, so it is hard to sell a modern image. As for the Austrian prime minister who accepted defeat gracefully, “The Olympic tournament has three medals, gold, silver, and bronze. But only one contender may receive the gold medal. Salzburg died beautifully.”]
