Announcement itself isn't until almost 9.

The choices are Vancouver, Salzburg and PeyongChang. Apparently PeyongChang is really unlikely. And Salzburg is hurt by the fact that Torino in Italy has the Winter Games in 2006 and Athens has the Summer games next, so that would be very Europe-sentric, which they try to avoid.

They don't want to look like they are Euro cnetric so they give the games to Canada, quite possibly the Whitest country outside of Europe?

No, you just don't want the Games to be anywhere too mcuh. They need to be spread out.
