The Olympic Games, which are held every four years, are a source of excitement not only for athletes but also for the peoples of the world. The Olympic Games, held for the first time in Athens in 1896, were hosted by Sydney, Athens, Beijing, London and Rio de Janeiro in the 2000s, respectively.
In which cities will it be held in the coming years? When we look at the Olympic calendar, the first games will be held in 2020 in Japan’s capital Tokyo. As you may recall, Tokyo, Madrid and Istanbul were nominated for the 2020 Olympics by International Olympic Committee and the city of Tokyo was entitled to hold the 2020 Olympics.
The 2024 Olympics will be held in the European continent, Paris, France. The city of Paris had previously hosted Olympic athletes twice in 1900 and 1924. Therefore, it will be the host on the 100th anniversary of 1924. Now let’s look at 2028. The city, which will host the 2028 Olympics, has already been announced: Los Angeles, the tourist paradise on the Pacific coast of the United States. This city will hold the Olympic Games for the third time after 1932 and 1986.
