奥林匹克宪章
9 March 2014, former leader of the Norwegian Confederation of Sports, Hans B. Skaset, explained how the Olympic Charter secured IOC control of the event, while leaving the financial risk with the host city. The minister of culture, Thorhild Widvey, responded by declaring that the Norwegian government would reserve itself against the relevant provisions of the Olympic Charter. Oslo sent the candidate application file March 14. The Norwegian minister of culture, Thorhild Widvey, did not - as IOC require - provide a full guarantee of respecting the Olympic Charter. Instead, Widvey wrote that their guarantee should "not be understood to mean that the Government has agreed to comply with all provisions of the Olympic Charter". However, this was withdrawn by the end of April after a short exchange of letters with the IOC, who rejected such a reservation.
