Paris gets 2024 Olympic Games
By EUobserver
Paris is to organise the 2024 Olympic summer games after the International Olympic Committee (IOC) said on Tuesday that its executive board should, in a meeting in September, conclude an agreement with Paris and Los Angeles to award them the 2024 and 2028 games. The IOC explained the double decision by the "exceptional circumstances and unique opportunities" presented by the French and US cities.
