Lausanne Switzerland — Pyeongchang remains the city to beat in the race for the 2018 Winter Olympics.The South Korean resort maintained its front-runner status Wednesday as all three bid cities took their case directly to the International Olympic Committee, seeking to gain vital support just weeks ahead of the vote.Bid teams from Pyeongchang, Munich and Annecy, France, made pitches to IOC members in one of the most crucial phases of the global two-year campaign.IOC members said all three cities made convincing closed-door presentations, with no single candidate slipping up or standing out."Nobody made a fool of themselves, nobody let themselves down," Irish member Patrick Hickey said. "They were three extremely professional presentations."The IOC members will vote for the winning bid on July 6 in Durban, South Africa.
