Phra Nang Sports Conference opens in Cali

At the 1970 IOC meeting, Denver won the right to host the 1976 Winter Olympics before Sion in Switzerland, Tampere in Finland and Vancouver in Canada. But in the Colorado referendum in November 1972, voters refused to fund the event. This is the only time a city has won the right to host the Olympics but has withdrawn. The International Olympic Committee subsequently offered the Olympic Games to Whistler in Canada, but they also refused due to the change of government after the election. Salt Lake City offered to host the Olympics, but the International Olympic Committee was still disturbed by Denver's refusal. It refused and chose Innsbruck, the host city in 1964, as an alternative.
