The 2024 Summer Olympics, which is officially known as the Games of the XXXIII Olympiad, was a sporting event that happened from July 26 to August 11 in Paris, France.

On July 11, 2017, a proposal to choose the 2024 and 2028 Olympic host cities at the same time was approved by an Extraordinary IOC Session in Lausanne, Switzerland.[4] On July 31, 2017, the International Olympic Committee made a deal with Los Angeles to host the 2028 Summer Olympics.[5] It made Paris host the 2024 Summer Olympics. On September 13, 2017, the hosts for both Olympic games were announced at the 131st IOC Session in Lima, Peru.[6]
