             Cost Concerns Deter Host Bidders as Olympics Move East

   After the withdrawal of the Norwegian capital, Oslo, from the
   competition to host the 2022 Winter Olympics, only two runners are left
   in the race: Beijing and the city of Almaty, in Kazakhstan. With recent
   Olympic hosts spending tens of billions of dollars on staging the
   games, there are concerns that potential bidders are being put off.
   Henry Ridgwell reports from London.
