LAUSANNE, Switzerland -- Left with little choice after the withdrawal of three contenders, the International Olympic Committee retained the three remaining cities Monday in the troubled race for the 2022 Winter Games. Almaty, Kazakhstan; Beijing, and Oslo made the list of finalists, as had been expected. The IOC executive board approved all three as official candidate cities, sending them through to the final stage of the campaign, rather than cut the decimated field any further. The cities must submit their detailed bid files to the IOC by next January. The host city will then be selected by the full IOC membership in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on July 31, 2015. "The IOC is very happy to see three very different approaches with regard to the organization of the games," IOC President Thomas Bach said. "This gives the IOC a choice among three diverse bids with different legacy plans, with different approaches, with different budgets." Addressing concerns that the Olympics have become too expensive, Bach said the IOC will contribute about $750 million to the host city and expressed confidence that local organizers will break even or make a profit on their operational budget. He cited a projected $200 million surplus for Russian organizers from Februarys Winter Olympics in Sochi. Potential host cities, especially in Western Europe, are increasingly wary about the financial costs of holding the games. Many have been scared off by the $51 billion price tag associated with the Sochi Games, even though Russia spent much of that record sum on long-term infrastructure projects for the entire region. "We want to encourage sustainability and the feasibility of the organization of the Olympic Games," Bach said. The 2022 bid race began with six cities, but has been cut in half by the withdrawals of Stockholm; Krakow, Poland; and Lviv, Ukraine. Lviv dropped out a week ago amid the continuing political turmoil in Ukraine. Krakow pulled out in May after Polish voters rejected the bid by a 70 per cent margin. Stockholm withdrew in January after Swedish politicians refused to give the bid financial backing. In addition, potential bids from Switzerland and Germany were abandoned before the official campaign began when voters said no in referendums. Even though Oslo -- which hosted the 1952 Winter Games -- made the final cut Monday, its candidacy remains uncertain. The Norwegian government has yet to back the project and wont make a decision until the autumn, probably in November. Polls have shown that more than half the population opposes the bid. "It wasnt very surprising but is confirmation that our application is strong," Oslo Mayor Stian Berger Roesland said after the IOC announcement. "Should Parliament and the government decide (to support the bid) we have a historic opportunity to be awarded the games after so many strong cities have withdrawn." Beijing, which hosted the 2008 Summer Olympics, is bidding to become the first city to host both the summer and winter games. The Chinese capital proposes holding alpine events 120 miles (190 kilometres) away in the city of Zhangjiakou. With Pyeongchang, South Korea, hosting the 2018 Winter Games and Tokyo the 2020 Summer Olympics, however, the IOC would normally be reluctant to send the games to East Asia for a third consecutive time. Almaty, the commercial capital of the former Soviet republic of Kazakhstan in Central Asia, hosted the 2011 Asian Games and will host the Winter University Games in 2017. The 2022 race poses a serious challenge for the IOC and Bach to find cities willing to host the games. Changes to the bidding process and efforts to reduce the cost of the games are among the key issues being addressed by the IOC as part of Bachs "Agenda 2020," his roadmap for the future of the Olympic Adidas Yeezy Boost 350 Pirate Black . - Defenceman Robyn Regehr was placed on injured reserve by the Los Angeles Kings on Friday with an upper-body injury.

SAN FRANCISCO -- Heath Bell walked into the visitors clubhouse at AT&T Park on Wednesday, and many of his young San Diego Padres teammates figured he was already long gone after the San Francisco Giants claimed him off waivers. Leave it to the burly all-star closer to play the part of prankster and have a little fun with some of the younger players who didnt quite understand the waiver-wire process. "The big joke in the clubhouse is, Youre still here?" Bell said, chuckling. "I said I couldnt find the Giants clubhouse." While his name circulated on flat-screen televisions in both clubhouses, Bell and seemingly everybody else in the ballpark remained skeptical about whether he will actually end up with the defending World Series champions. San Diego has 48 hours from the time Bell was claimed to decide whether to work out a trade for the three-time all-star, allow him to be claimed or pull him back from waivers. The Giants already have one of baseballs best bullpens -- albeit banged up at the moment -- and it would seem unlikely that general manager Brian Sabean would give up anything of value in a trade. The move could be just to block NL West-leading Arizona -- under first-year general manager and former Padres GM Kevin Towers -- or other contenders from landing Bell. San Francisco began the day two games back of the Diamondbacks. Asked if Bell would still be with the club after the deadline, Padres manager Bud Black said he would be "extremely shocked" if his closer wasnt. "Albert Pujols was put on waivers. Justin Verlander was put on waivers. Im sure they got claimed, too, right?" Black said. "I dont know, but every general manager Ive known tells me that every player has put been put on waivers." Bell, too, was already was making plans for the teams series at Arizona beginning Friday. "I feel like Im going to Arizona with the Padres and going to do fantasy football on our off day and hang out by the pool and go see a couple movies and go sweat my butt off when I go run in Arizona for Fridays game," he said. The home team is certainly familiar with the right-hander. Bell converted his 35th save in 39 opportunities in Tuuesdays 7-5 win at San Francisco.dddddddddddd He also was chosen by Giants manager Bruce Bochy for the all-star game, famously sliding onto the infield grass before the NL manager handed him the ball in relief. The 33-year-old Bell learned that the Giants won the claim on him when a radio station called him for an interview. After a summer filled with trade talk, Bell was hardly surprised. "I feel pretty honoured. Theyre the world champs, they want me to be part of their organization," he said. "But nothing has happened right now. Im a Padre, and Im pretty happy about that." San Franciscos stellar bullpen is certainly fractured. There is no timetable for when Brian Wilson will get on a mound and test his inflamed right elbow, although theres a chance he could return in early September for the stretch run. Wilson has declined to discuss his injury. He led the majors with 48 saves last season, while Bell had 47. The Giants are more confident that setup man Sergio Romo, also on the disabled list with an elbow injury, will be back soon. Bochy said he hadnt talked to Sabean yet and wouldnt speculate about the teams plans. "That happens around baseball, so it just happened to make news," Bochy said. "Thats what it is right now. When that happens, a club claims somebody, some times those two clubs talk and make a deal. Im not talking about this as much as what happens with other deals." Bell has been clear all season that he enjoys playing for San Diego and doesnt want to go anywhere. While he will likely decline arbitration to become a free agent after the season, the Padres wouldnt lose Bell for nothing. They would likely get compensatory draft picks if he walks. Bell also has kept open the possibility he would re-sign with San Diego, even if he landed in San Francisco -- or somewhere else -- by the end of the week. In the meantime, he couldnt help but poke fun at how odd it would be to switch clubhouses in the middle of a quick two-game series. "It would be easy. It wouldnt be that far," he said, smiling. "I know where the locker room is. It would be a little weird just because weve had so many battles over the years."
