Belarusian Ice Hockey Association (BIHA) President Dmitri Baskov claims the organisation has held a "constructive conversation" with the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) over next year's Men's World Championship.
Denver were awarded the 1976 Winter Olympic Games ahead of Sion in Switzerland, Tempere in Finland and Vancouver in Canada at the International Olympic Committee Session in 1970. But in a Colorado referendum in November 1972, voters rejected funding for the event. It is the only time a city has been awarded the Olympics but pulled out. The IOC then offered the Games to Whistler in Canada, but they too declined owing to a change of Government following elections.
