The news on Japan 2020 Olympics just dawned on the internet and the world already talking about their favourite players to be seen at the podium.

 

Meanwhile, the topic is never ending as International Olympic committee has already decided the venue for next two olympics as well. IOC has announced Paris to be hosting for 2024 Olympics followed by Los Angeles for 2028 Olympics.

 

“Congratulations to Paris 2024 and Los Angeles 2028! 

This historic double allocation is a ‘win-win-win’ situation for the city of Paris, the city of Los Angeles and the IOC,” said the IOC President, Thomas Bach.

 

“It is hard to imagine something better. Ensuring the stability of the Olympic Games for the athletes of the world for the next 11 years is something extraordinary,” Bach commented.

 

“These are two great cities from two great countries with a great Olympic history. Both cities are very enthusiastic about the Games and are promoting the Olympic spirit in a fantastic way,” Bach added.

 

Paris and Los Angeles have expressed their excitement in bringing home the Olympics.

 

“Bringing the Olympics back home to LA gives us the chance to imagine what our city will look like a decade from now,” said Eric Garcetti, Mayor of Los Angeles.

 

“LA is a city where the Games are not a barrier to making progress; we know that they are an accelerating force to re-envisioning a better city and a better world in the days ahead as we welcome you back to the City of Angels,” he added.

 

The working group was set up in March 2017 to study the possibility of a double allocation of the Olympic Games 2024 and 2028 by a working group of IOC Vice-Presidents.

 

With the blessing of the 130th IOC Session that met in Lausanne in July, the IOC, Los Angeles, Paris and their National Olympic Committees have been working together in order to reach the agreement that was ratified by the IOC Session.
