Climate Changes Force IOC To Propose Double-allocation Of Winter Games For 2030, 2034
IOC President Thomas Bach: Considering the impact of climate change on sports conducted on ice and snow, the Executive Board of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has proposed to conduct a double allocation of the next two Winter Olympic Games in 2030 and 2034.
The IOC has conducted two studies through its Future Host Commission for Winter Games which has reported that there are only 10 National Olympic Committees (NOCs) that have the capability and facilities to conduct the Winter Olympic Games.
This proposal in a sense clears the way for Salt Lake City to host the Winter Olympics in 2034, as the IOC usually does not like countries to host back-to-back games. With the United States hosting the 2028 Summer Olympic Games in Los Angeles, there were few chances of Salt Lake getting the opportunity to host the Winter Games in 2020. Sweden, Switzerland and France have expressed hopes of hosting the 2030 edition.
