Paris last hosted the games in 1924 and first hosted the games in 1900. Hosting the 1900 games

brought France into the Olympics and established a strong partnership in the relationship with

the IOC. In addition France has twice hosted the Winter Olympics and Paris has made three bids

for the games in the past (1992, 2008, 2012 respectively.).

France is also a culturally rich nation and very sports enthusiastic and has a population of nearly

63 million people. This enthusiasm can be seen in our many sports teams, legacy of hosting

world class sporting events, and Olympic medal record. Paris itself is very sports oriented and

home to three soccer teams and some of France’s most popular sporting events. This will provide

a very exciting and enthusiastic environment for which the games to be held.

for athletes, sporting bodies, and media.
