Kuala Lumpur to host 2022 Games vote

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.
