BERNE (Reuters) - Sion's bid to host the 2026 Winter Olympics was ratified by the Swiss Olympic committee on Tuesday.

The candidacy had been approved by Swiss Olympic's executive board last month but still needed the backing of the country's 86 sports federations, the so-called sport parliament, which it received at an assembly on Tuesday.
