Pyeongchang, South Korea will host 2018 Winter Olympics

Pyeongchang was chosen over Munich, Germany, and Annecy, France to host the 2018 Winter Olympics. Pyeongchang was also in the running for the 2010 and 2014 Olympics, but didn't receive enough votes.

Pyeongchang is located about 100 miles east of Seoul.

South Korea has never hosted the Winter Olympics. Seoul hosted the summer olympics in 1988.

The Olympics will be held February 9-24, 2018. The slogan for the Winter Olympics will be "New Horizons".
