European Games Blow as Dutch Pull Out of 2019 Race

Just days before the opening ceremony of the inaugural European Games, tadalafil the whole movement was dealt a blow as it has been announced today that the Netherlands have pulled out of the race to host the 2019 edition.

The Dutch were believed to be frontrunners to host the second Games, but in a statement the European Olympic Committee said it would continue to talk with five other interested bidders and open up the selection process.

EOC President Patrick Hickey, said: “This news is disappointing, but we would like to thank the Dutch for their interest.

“We are confident that these inaugural European Games in Baku will be the ideal showcase for this new event and its long-term sporting, social and economic benefits.

“I have no doubt that we will be able to present a strong host for the 2019 European Games, but right now our focus remains on ensuring this inaugural edition is the best possible launch pad for Europe’s first continental Games.”
