Bids for the 2024 (2024) Summer Olympics and Paralympics
Los Angeles withdraw from 2024 to bid for 2028, so it won.
Paris 2024 is 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 withdrawals 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 was officially announced at the IOC Session in Lima, Peru.
Paris previously hosted the 1900 Summer Olympics and the 1924 Summer Olympics. Paris will be 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.[2] On July 31, 2017, it was announced that rival bidder Los Angeles would host in 2028, effectively giving Paris the 2024 games.[3]
Dates
The Olympic Games will be held from 26 July 2024 to 11 August 2024; while the Paralympic Games will be from 28 August 2024 to 8 September 2024. Paris will be the second city to host the games three times after London (1908, 1948 and 2012). These would be the sixth hosted games in France, and the third in summer. Los Angeles, which was announced as the 2028 Games host, will be the third city to host three times (1932 and 1984).
Venues, capacity
Venues are situated mainly in Paris. They also include Saint-Denis, Le Bourget, the Stade Olympique Yves-du-Manoir in Colombes, a centrepiece of the 1924 games, Vaires-sur-Marne, Versailles and a 600-kilometre (370 mi) venue for sailing in Marseille.[4] Environmental concerns are taken into account, as there will be nine temporary venues and only three new ones in a total of forty – 95% of venues are existing or temporary.[5]

Members of the bid team assisted in presenting the yellow jersey to the race leader after each day's stage, and during the final day in Paris the riders rode through the Grand Palais (site of the fencing and taekwondo events) en route to the final laps on the Champs-Élysées (site of the road cycling events). Additionally, during stage 12 from Pau to Peyragudes, a special marker was placed at kilometer 2024 overall in the race to promote the bid.[6]
