It was February 13, 1988. It wad cloudy and cold, but the electricity and excitement in the air swarmed it up. Whether it was at home with friends or family, or at McMahon Stadium, the word watched the 1988 Winter Olympics. The next 15 days, Calgary watched and opened their cities to tourist all across the world. A then-record 57 nations and 1,423 athletes competed. You may remember Eddie the Eagle, the Jamaican Bobsled team which films were made about them.


Now, in February of 2026. It may be cloudy and cold. It may be sunny and chinooky warm. It may be the same within an hour, knowing Calgary. But could the Winter Olympics return?
