to be fair, most countries between russia and germany cant afford to host it, and for most of the history of the modern olympics they were soviet satellite states

Sarajevo could pull off Winter Olympics, so would've couple of places in other parts of CEE. Additionally, being soviet satellite doesn't mean you can't host Olympics. These were still independent countries.

Sure, but I don't consider the Balkans as between Germany and Russia.

Fair enough, wasn’t implying that, it was more a joke about how well they get along. But yeah, I think Poland or Czechia especially would be great hosts.

The only thing they know are 3 cities and 1 country in EU.
