As Whistler Blackcomb continued to win awards – eight consecutive by 2000 – the resort formed the basis of a renewed Olympics bid, this time for the [[2010 Winter Olympics]]. [[Calgary]] also bid for the Canadian entry, as their equipment from the [[1988 Winter Olympics]] was already in place and allowed them to offer a low-cost bid, as did [[Quebec City]], which lost the 2002 bid. Calgary was eliminated in close voting on November 21, 1998, and Vancouver-Whistler won the second round of voting on December 3. In IOC voting [[Pyeongchang County|Pyeongchang, South Korea]] won the initial round, which eliminated [[Salzburg]], but in the second round on July 2, 2003, they won every one of Salzburg's supporters and bested Pyeongchang 56–53.
