Olympic host cities you've been to

Check what applies to you. I included some of the larger Winter Olympic host cities* as well. I know you can't resist, but please try not to include cities for which you only touched down on for a connecting flight.



*Oslo's metro (which I was going by) is larger than any of the three Winter game cities I've included (Calgary, Vancouver, SLC), but since this is a Canadian-American centric forum, I'd imagine these 3 are better suited.

All but Beijing and Seoul, though both of those should be checked off in the next year.

St. Louis and Calgary were both when I was young (12 and 10? I think), so I'd like to visit both of them again.

I launched the same poll on SSC. An obvious observation so far: Los Angeles leads on SSP while London leads on the SSC poll. Paris takes second place in both. Zero votes for Seoul on SSP (so far), zero votes for Helsinki on SSC.

total votes so far
SSP: 39
SSC: 33

Metro Vancouver is larger than Metro Oslo at 2.1 mil vs 1.45 mil, although the opposite may have been true back in 1952.
