Sport in Barcelona - Olympics and Paralympics

Olympics and Paralympics

As alternative to the Nazi Olympics in Berlin, planned 1936 Summer Olympics named People's Olympiad in Barcelona was to be held, however because of the war it be canceled. Barcelona hosted the highly successful 1992 Summer Olympics and 1992 Summer Paralympics. Also, the city aspires to organize the 2022 Winter Olympics. The opening, closing, medal ceremonies and indoor sports would be held in Barcelona, while outdoor sports would be held in ski resorts in the Pyrenees, mainly La Molina. This does not preclude the use of other sky resorts in Catalonia, example Vall de NĂºria, Vallter 2000, Rasos de Peguera and Port del Comte.
