It always seems that the cities and venues that host the Olympic games, either winter or summer, have some kind of issue during or after the games.

Currently, it seems that the Korean Forest Service wants the Pyeongchang alpine venue torn down so the forest land there can be restored. However, local officials want to keep the venue intact in an attempt to draw more tourists and possibly host another series of events.

For more information on this one, take a look at the article below. I will say that it always good to respect the environment, especially when it comes to winter sports. Let's hope they figure out something that can benefit everyone involved.
