Malaysian capital Kuala Lumpur was chosen on Thursday to host the International Olympic Committee Session in 2015 where the host of the 2022 Winter Olympics will be decided. With a motto of ‘By the family for the family’ Malaysian IOC member Prince Tunku Imran led the presentation which also featured a video message from the Prime Minister Najib Abdul Razak. Seven cities originally bid for the right to host the Session but only Kuala Lumpur – who hosted the 1998 Commonwealth Games – and Lima made a short list before the Peruvian capital was eliminated earlier this year. The Session will take place from August 1-3 with an Executive Board meeting taking place prior to that.
