Bids for the Olympic Games

{{Short description|Bids to host the Olympic Games}}

{{Olympic Games infobox}}

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.

[http://www.paralympic.org/IPC/IPC-IOC_Co-operation.html IPC-IOC Co-operation], The official website of the International Paralympic Committee 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.

| rowspan=5 align=center| {{efn-lr|name=Innsbruck|The selection process for the 1976 Winter Olympics consisted of four bids, and saw Denver, United States, selected ahead of Sion, Switzerland; Tampere, Finland; and Vancouver, Canada. The selection was made at the 70th IOC Session in Amsterdam on 12 May 1970. In a statewide referendum on 7 November 1972, Colorado voters rejected funding for the games, and for the only time a city awarded the Games rejected them. Denver officially withdrew on 15 November, and the IOC then offered the games to Whistler, Canada, but they too declined owing to a change of government following elections. Whistler would go on to be associated with neighbouring Vancouver's successful bid for the 2010 games. Salt Lake City offered to host the games, but the IOC, still reeling from the Denver rejection, declined and selected Innsbruck to host the 1976 Winter Olympics, which had hosted the 1964 Winter Olympics games twelve years earlier, on 5 February 1973. Salt Lake City would then host the Winter Olympics in 2002.{{cite web |url=http://www.olympic.org/innsbruck-1976-winter-olympics |title=Innsbruck 1976 |work=Games |publisher=International Olympic Committee |access-date=2011-06-23| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20110623063831/http://www.olympic.org/innsbruck-1976-winter-olympics| archive-date= 23 June 2011 | url-status= live}}}}

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.
  • Denver is the only city to withdraw its own bid, and the only city awarded Games that were hosted by another city.
