"Summer"or"Winter".- city_local_latin
Character. Host city in the local-language form rendered in the Latin alphabet, i.e. native Latin-script names retain their diacritics (
"Athína","München","Montréal","Ciudad de México"), and non-Latin-script names use a standard romanization rather than the city's native script ("Moskva","Tokyo","Beijing","PyeongChang"). The column is therefore always ASCII-or-Latin-1 and never contains the city's native non-Latin alphabet.- city_english
Character. Common English name of the host city (e.g.
"Athens","Munich","Moscow","Mexico City").- country
Character.
