The former New Zealand Olympic Committee vice-president Bruce Ullrich says the country could hold the Winter Olympics in 2034 or 2038.

He claims the South Island would make a suitable location for the Games and has called for a feasibility study to be conducted into the possibility of a combined Christchurch and Queenstown bid.

He says New Zealand could hold ice events around Canterbury while Mount Hutt could host downhill competitions.
