Summer Olympic Games, 2024 will be hosted by :

Question

Accepted Answer

The correct option is (2):
The correct host city for the XXXIII Olympiad, the 2024 Summer Olympic Games, is Paris, France. Paris was officially awarded the games at the 131st IOC Session in Lima, Peru, on September 13, 2017, following a joint agreement with Los Angeles, which was awarded the 2028 Games. This selection holds significant historical value, as it will mark exactly 100 years since the French capital last hosted the Summer Games in 1924, making it the third time the city will stage the event. The Paris bid was successful due to its emphasis on sustainability, the innovative use of iconic Parisian landmarks as competition venues, and modernizing existing infrastructure, showcasing a strong commitment to a lasting and positive legacy.

The incorrect option is (1):
Tokyo, Japan, hosted the most recent Summer Olympic Games, which were held in 2021 (the postponed 2020 Games). The Olympic charter dictates a four-year cycle between Summer Games, and a city is not selected to host consecutive Olympiads. The enormous logistical and financial scale of hosting dictates that the responsibility rotates globally.

The incorrect option is (3):
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, was the host city for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games. The city's involvement as an Olympic host concluded with the closing ceremony of those games. The established international rotation ensures that a different city and continent are given the opportunity to stage the global event.

The incorrect option is (4):
Beijing, China, hosted the Summer Olympics in 2008 and the Winter Olympics in 2022. While it has proven its capability as a host, the city was never a candidate for the 2024 Summer Games, which were awarded years in advance to Paris through the International Olympic Committee's established bidding and selection process, maintaining the necessary global distribution.
