The BATOC has submitted a request for its own permanent territorial Olympic flag. OV grudgingly approved.

2026 Winter Olympics campaign flag

by Clay Moss, 1 April 2006

Alert, BAT, is going to make a concerted effort to host the 2026 Winter Olympics. The British Arctic Territorial Olympic Committee, (BATOC) submitted a design to advertise their intention. Although the flag design itself is poor, it is consistent with other past local Olympic flags and was thus reluctantly approved by the OV.

Alert is not real optimistic about getting the nod to host the 2026 Winter Olympics. It is anticipated that the main hold up will be Alert's insistence that "real" winter sports be added to the Winter Olympic menu, and some of the stupider sports be removed. Snow ball fighting, artistic snow man making, speed snow man making, snow angel competition, polar bear wrestling, sled dog racing, iceberg surfing, frozen spit distance spitting, and one more "stand outside in freezing weather event that we haven't named yet competition" are a must while ice dancing's gotta go. Also, each country must sign a pact promising not to send any doofus athletes to the games. If any team is caught with doofus athletes, that country will forfeit its future Winter Olympics privileges. The IOC does have several years to mull things over, so we'll see.
