1976 Winter Olympics

[Husker.Wed.]

In 1972, Colorado rejected the International Olympic Committee's invitation to serve as host for the 1976 Winter Olympic Games because its voters opposed the use of state tax revenue to finance the games. It is the only state ever to reject an Olympic invitation to host the event.

And it never hurt Colorado to reject it.

The same state that’s main population resides in the east that voted to reintroduce wolves into historical ranges, starting in western mountain range.

So no Lake Placid if they didn’t reject it?
