The Finnish town of Salla has also expressed its intention to host the 2032 Summer Olympics. However, in cold towns with an average temperature of less than 15 degrees Celsius this summer, they did not submit an official document to the International Olympic Committee even though they produced a propaganda video for the Olympics, hoping to use black humor to call the world to pay attention to global warming.

But when you take a closer look, you will find that Sarah did not make a “crazy” bid for the Olympics, but expressed other messages in black humor: pay attention to climate change. As soon as the “pseudo” propaganda clip began, residents mentioned the warming weather and melting snow in the ice and snow. After the mayor Erkki Parkkinen indicated that they intend to bid for the 2032 Olympics, the clip showed the motion picture in the snow and spoke with dialogue. To cooperate, for example, when athletes play beach volleyball and shot puts in the snow, they mentioned that “it’s all due to carbon dioxide. The snow will turn into sand, and winter will be shorter.” When a mountain bike is shot down the snow-capped mountain, it says “No more Snowy mountains, only downhill bikes,” and when they were surfing and skateboarding in the snow, the actor also said, “I can’t wait to see the snow melt, there will be no more slippery ice, more and more global warming.”

After the film, Sara’s logo created for bidding for the 2032 Olympics appears, but the five rings are not interlocking as usual, but placed separately. The red and yellow rings are obviously larger than the other three color rings, and on Salla 2032 The snow-capped mountains melted even more. In the last scene of the film, a resident wearing a Salla 2032 cold hat stopped his skateboard and asked, “Hey, do you really want the Olympics to be held here?” Then he threw the cold hat on the ground, and the screen then popped up “Save Sara” , “Save the Earth” and other words.And in the YouTube video introduction, it says

“Please don’t let this Olympics happen”

The mayor of Sara, Erkki Parkkinen, said in a press conference earlier that they hope to promote the concept of protecting the earth through a “pseudo Olympic bid”: “Holding the Summer Olympics in the coldest town is a crazy idea. We hope Sara keeps it now. But if we do nothing and let global warming continue, the towns we love will no longer exist. If Sarah becomes the best place to host the Olympics, it means the temperature has not stopped rising.” He also Explain why the Olympic Games will operate as a starting point: “The value of the Olympic Games is to unite people from all over the world. Its development unites mankind. Climate change is also a problem facing the whole world.”

Sarah’s “false bid” was to call the world to pay attention to global warming, so she did not submit an official document application to the International Olympic Committee. Parkkinen reiterated: “We don’t want to be the best place to host the Summer Olympics.” Many countries Or cities have expressed “real” interest in bidding for the 2032 Olympics earlier, including Queensland in Australia, Indonesia, India, Chengdu and Chongqing in China, and Rhine Ruhr in Germany. Earlier, there were also reports that Japan would cancel the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, which will be postponed until July 2021 due to the epidemic, and instead strive for the right to host the 2032 Olympics, but Japan subsequently denied it. The host location of the 2032 Olympic Games will be announced in 2025.
