List of Olympic host cities

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This is a list of Olympic host cities. Since the modern Olympic Games began in 1896, there have been 25 Summer Olympic Games held in 21 separate cities and 20 Winter Olympic Games held in 19 separate cities. This list includes games that were scheduled but were later canceled due to war, Berlin in 1916, Tokyo and Sapporo in 1940, and London and Cortina d'Ampezzo in 1944. It also includes cities which have been chosen by the International Olympic Committee to host upcoming Olympic Games; Beijing for the 2008 Summer Olympics, Vancouver for the 2010 Winter Olympics, Singapore for the 2010 Summer Youth Olympics, London for the 2012 Summer Olympics, and Sochi for the 2014 Winter Olympics. The 1906 Summer Olympics in Athens, also known as the 1906 Intercalcated Games, is not included in this list as the 1906 games are not officially recognized by the International Olympic Committee.

Six cities have hosted Olympic Games more than once; Athens in 1896 and 2004, Paris in 1900 and 1924, London in 1908 and 1948, St. Moritz in 1928 and 1948, Lake Placid in 1932 and 1980, and Los Angeles in 1932 and 1984. London will become the first city to host three games as of the 2012 Summer Olympics.
