MUNICH (Deutsche Welle) - Bavaria's capital says it is preparing to present a bid to host the 2018 Olympic Winter Games. If it wins, Munich would be the first city ever to have hosted both the summer and winter games. Munich hosted the summer Olympics Games in 1972. When it makes its decision in 2011, the International Olympic Committee will determine whether the southern German city will be the first ever to host both games. The official concept is to be delivered to the IOC by mid-2009. In 2010, official candidates will be selected, and a final decision will be made by 2011. The next Winter Games are set to take place in Vancouver, Canada in 2010. The 2014 Olympic Games will be held in the Russian city of Sochi.
