National Olympic Committees that wish to host anOlympic Games select cities within their territories to put forthbids for the Olympic Games. The staging of theParalympic Games is automatically included in the bid.[1] Since the creation of theInternational Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1894, which successfully appropriated the name of theAncient Greek Olympics to create a modern sporting event, interested cities have rivaled for selection as host of theSummer orWinter Olympic Games.51 different cities have been chosen to host the modern Olympics: three inEastern Europe, five inEast Asia, one inSouth America, three inOceania, nine inNorth America and all the others inWestern Europe. NoCentral American,African,Central Asian,Middle Eastern,South Asian, orSoutheast 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 atIOC Sessions between seven and eleven years from the games; for example, the2020 Summer Olympics were awarded toTokyo on 7 September 2013, the2022 Winter Olympics were awarded toBeijing on 31 July 2015, the2024 Summer Olympics and the2028 Summer Olympics were awarded toParis andLos Angeles jointly on 13 September 2017, the2026 Winter Olympics were awarded toMilan-Cortina d'Ampezzo on 24 June 2019, and the2032 Summer Olympics were awarded toBrisbane on 21 July 2021. The last host city decision was the2034 Winter Olympics who were awarded toSalt Lake City on 24 July 2024.
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 the1992 Summer Paralympics, held inBarcelona andMadrid,Spain, the1994 Winter Paralympics held inLillehammer,Norway, the1998 Winter Paralympics held inNagano,Japan, and the2000 Summer Paralympic Games were the bridges to theInternational Olympic Committee (IOC) and theInternational Paralympic Committee (IPC) to sign in June 2001, an agreement that would ensure that the staging of theParalympic Games is automatically included in the bid for theOlympic Games starting from the bid process for the2008 Summer Paralympics.[1] However, theSalt Lake 2002 Organizing Committee (SLOC) andAthens 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.[1]
