"The city of Oslo, Norway, voted this week to approve funding towards hosting a winter X Games event in 2016. If approved, it would be the first time X Games has been held in a Scandinavian country. At a meeting held April 29 at Oslo's City Hall, the City Council declared a majority vote in support of holding the ESPN action sports event, likely to take place in February 2016. (The event would not replace X Games Aspen, which is slated to continue in the Colorado mountain town through at least 2019)."
