The Winter Olympics will be hosted in Pyeongchang, South Korea in 2018 after winning in the first round of voting at the IOC bid meeting in South Africa. The city defeated Annecy, France and Munich, Germany in the vote.
The South Korean city was snubbed in the previous two bids for the Olympics by Vancouver in 2010 and Sochi in 2014.
This is the first time the Winter Olympics will be held in South Korea, following the 1988 Summer Games being held in Seoul.
