Paris, August 11, 2024 — infopulsetoday.com — The 2024 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad, took place in France from July 26 to August 11, 2024, with several events starting from July 24. The international multi-sport event was held in Paris, the host city, with additional events taking place in 16 other cities in metropolitan France. This marked a significant milestone for Paris, as it became the second city to host the Summer Olympics three times, after previously hosting the games in 1900 and 1924.
The selection process for the 2024 Summer Olympics host city was notable, as it involved a unique approach by the International Olympic Committee (IOC). After multiple withdrawals left only Paris and Los Angeles in contention, the IOC approved a process to concurrently award the 2024 and 2028 Summer Olympics to the two remaining candidate cities.
This decision was made at the 131st IOC Session in Lima, Peru, on September 13, 2017. As a result, Paris was awarded the 2024 Summer Olympics, while Los Angeles was awarded the 2028 Summer Olympics. The 2024 Summer Olympics featured a range of events, including football, which was held in several cities across metropolitan France.
The sailing centre in Marseille, the second-largest city in France, was also a key venue for the games. Additionally, a subsite for surfing was located in Tahiti, French Polynesia, highlighting the diversity of locations and events that made up the 2024 Summer Olympics.
The fact that events were held in multiple cities and locations added to the complexity and scope of the games. Paris 2024 marked an important centennial, as it coincided with the 100th anniversary of the 1924 Summer Games and the 1924 Winter Olympics in Chamonix. The 1924 Winter Olympics were notable, as they were the first Winter Olympics to be held.
The 2024 Summer Olympics served as a celebration of this milestone, while also showcasing the city’s ability to host large-scale international events.
