Helsinki 2006 (Swedish: Helsingfors 2006) was a joint bid for the 2006 Winter Olympics presented by the city of Helsinki and Finnish Olympic Committee. Some of the proposed venues were located in Lillehammer, Norway.
Finland does not possess sufficiently high mountains in its territory to host the alpine skiing competitions and thus proposed some events pursuant to Rule 38.2 of the Olympic Charter. Whilst the individual venues were considered to be excellent, the 1000-km distance between Helsinki and Lillehammer, and the fact that a large portion of the Games will be held in Norway, may have led to organisational and operational burdens.[1]
