Cities used to bid for and compete to host the games. It was seen as an honor and something worth fighting for.
It was recently announced Brisbane, Australia won the contest to host the 2032 summer games.

- teractiveodular 2y agoWhile technically correct, it's also misleading, because there's a new bidding process that aims to eliminate contests. There's now a "Continuous Dialogue" with everybody interested, and IOC then uses opaque criteria to select "Preferred Hosts" for "Targeted Dialogue". https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bids_for_the_2032_Summer_Olympics https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bids_for_the_2032_Summer_Olymp...
- masklinn 2y agoWhile there were initially 5 bids for the 2024 olympics, 3 of those were withdrawn before the session to look at them even started. Given the spate of withdrawals, and that half the bids had also been withdrawn for the 2022 Winter Olympics, the IOC decided to just allocate 2024 and 2028 directly to the two bidders left to not take risks over 2028.

They won the contest together and the two cities decided together which one will host the first of the summer games. Los Angeles didn't really care about the year so Paris stick with 2024.
