# Bids for the Olympic Games

National Olympic Committees that wish to host an Olympic Games select cities within their territories to put forth bids for the Olympic Games. The staging of the Paralympic Games is automatically included in the bid. Since the creation of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1894, which successfully appropriated the name of the Ancient Greek Olympics to create a modern sporting event, interested cities have rivaled for selection as host of the Summer or Winter Olympic Games. 51 different cities have been chosen to host the modern Olympics: three in Eastern Europe, five in East Asia, one in South America, three in Oceania, nine in North America and all the others in Western Europe. No Central American, African, Central Asian, Middle Eastern, South Asian, or Southeast Asian city has ever been chosen to host an Olympics.
Due to recent changes at the Olympic Charter, the host city decisions have been made at IOC Sessions between seven and eleven years from the games; for example, the 2020 Summer Olympics were awarded to Tokyo on 7 September 2013, the 2022 Winter Olympics were awarded to Beijing on 31 July 2015, the 2024 Summer Olympics and the 2028 Summer Olympics were awarded to Paris and Los Angeles jointly on 13 September 2017, the 2026 Winter Olympics were awarded to Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo on 24 June 2019, and the 2032 Summer Olympics were awarded to Brisbane on 21 July 2021. The last host city decision was the 2034 Winter Olympics who were awarded to Salt Lake City on 24 July 2024.

## IOC – IPC co-operation

Even with completely different stories, but with common goals, the approach to the Paralympic Games that began in the late 1980s and progressively evolved into a joint organization made during the 1992 Summer Paralympics, held in Barcelona and Madrid, Spain, the 1994 Winter Paralympics held in Lillehammer, Norway, the 1998 Winter Paralympics held in Nagano, Japan, and the 2000 Summer Paralympic Games were the bridges to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) and the International Paralympic Committee (IPC) to sign in June 2001, an agreement that would ensure that the staging of the Paralympic Games is automatically included in the bid for the Olympic Games starting from the bid process for the 2008 Summer Paralympics. However, the Salt Lake 2002 Organizing Committee (SLOC) and Athens 2004 Organizing Committee (ATHOC) instead chose to follow the practice of "one bid, one city" for both events. The agreement was adjusted in 2003 and their first extension was signed in June 2006.

## Trivia

* London is the only city to have bid more than once and never lost a bid.
* Detroit has had the most bids whilst failing to win the rights to host the games once.
* Los Angeles has had the most bids in the Summer Games.
* Cortina d'Ampezzo and Lake Placid have had the most bids in the Winter Games.
* Hungary has had the most bids in the Summer Games that have failed to win the rights to host the games at least once, with six bids—all from Budapest. This also ties it with Turkey for most bids for Olympic Games in general without a successful bid (Turkey has bid for the Summer Games five times and the Winter Games once).
* Sweden has had the most bids in the Winter Games that have failed to win the rights to host the games at least once, with nine bids.
* Beijing is the only city to host both the Summer and Winter Games.
** Helsinki, Milan, Montreal, Stockholm and Munich have each been selected as hosts for either the Summer or Winter Games while also bidding unsuccessfully for the other Games. Minneapolis has bid for the Summer and Winter Games but has never been selected.
