The contenders have been in talks about hosting a Winter Olympics in 2030, 2034 or even 2038.
Previous Winter Games hosts Salt Lake City and Sapporo have been joined by 1992 Summer Games host Barcelona, where temperatures rarely drop below 7 degrees Celsius in February.

IOC members seemed to lack enthusiasm for exploring closer ties with video gaming in the booming eSports industry.
