When choosing locations for the Olympic Games, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) specifically gives the honor of holding the Games to a city rather than a country. Indeed, the selection process, international politics, and investment involved with the Olympics has made the host city selection a major deal.
Usually held every four years, the international sporting event was only ever cancelled due to World War I (1916) and World War II (1940 and 1944), and postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic (2020). This year, the Games will be held in Paris.
