Korean resort rejected for 2014 Olympics

The Gangwon Province city of Pyeongchang will likely become the sole South Korean bidder for the 2014 Winter Olympics after rival city Muju was turned down Wednesday by an international sports body due to concerns about environmental damage. The International Ski Federation (FIS) has conducted three-month onsite inspections at the Muju ski resort at the invitation of the Korean Olympic Committee to decide between the two rival cities.
