1900 Summer Olympics 1924 Summer Olympics Bid for 1992, 2008 and 2012 | |
The Paris bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics and Summer Paralympics was the successful bid to bring the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad and the XVII Paralympic Games, to the French capital city.[1] Paris formally announced its intention to bid on 23 June 2015 – the date on which Olympic Day is globally celebrated. Following withdrawls in the 2024 Summer Olympics bidding process that led to just two candidate cities (Los Angeles and Paris), the IOC announced that the 2028 Summer Olympics would be awarded at the same time as the 2024 Games. After Los Angeles agreed on 31 July 2017 to host the 2028 Games, it is assumed that Paris will be granted the 2024 Games.
Paris previously hosted the 1900 Summer Olympics and the 1924 Summer Olympics. If awarded the 2024 Summer Olympics, Paris will become the second city (after London) to host the Olympic games three times. Of note, 2024 marks the 100th anniversary of Paris' 1924 Summer Olympics, as well as the first Olympic Winter Games in Chamonix. On July 31, 2017, it was announced that rival bidder Los Angeles would host in 2028, effectively giving Paris the 2024 games.[2]
Dates
The Olympic Games would be organized from 2 August 2024 to 18 August 2024; while the Paralympic Games would be held from 4 September 2024 to 15 September 2024. It would be the second city to host the games three times after London (1908, 1948 and 2012) and sixth hosted games in France, third in summer. Los Angeles, which was announced as the 2028 Games host, will be the third city to host 3 times (1932 and 1984).
