IOC VOTES TO ALLOW DOUBLE ALLOCATION OF 2024 AND 2028 GAMES|2024夏季奧運 奧會宣布洛城.巴黎自行協調

The International Olympic Committee, or the IOC on Tuesday on Tuesday simultaneously named the hosts of the 2024 and 2028 Summer Olympics--Paris and Los Angeles. But the IOC left the question of who gets 2024 and who gets 2028 for the two cities to decide among themselves. Whoever gets 2024, the other will get 2028. In fact, both cities want to host the games in 2024 and neither want its in 2028. So the rare decision, established through a unanimous vote within the IOC, was meant to lock in both cities and make sure that there will be someone hosting the games in 2028. If the two cities fail to agree on who goes first, a vote to select just the 2024 host will be held. In recent decades, democratic nations have shown less interest in Olympic bidding, mainly due to the fact that most host countries are left with staggering amounts of debt afterwards, not to mention those stadiums and facilities that no one really uses. So far, neither Paris nor Los Angeles has shown signs that they will concede and let the other win the 2024 bid. TRANSLATED BY：CLARE LEAR 國際奧會IOC剛剛宣布"自行協調"2024奧運主辦城市，目前確定由洛杉磯跟巴黎競爭，但為了確保結果出爐後，落選的城市"落跑"不辦，國際奧會已跟兩個城市完成溝通，無論誰落選，都要承辦2028奧運。 從過去的經驗，辦奧運都會負債，因此之前才有漢堡、羅馬、布達佩斯等城市相繼退出，現在全力準備2020奧運的東京，也努力控制預算。洛杉磯跟巴黎之前都表態，只願主辦2024奧運，國際奧會當時也擔心，2028奧運將沒有城市願意申辦；如今在三方都同意的情況下，無論誰先辦、誰後辦，至少2024跟2028，都確定能繼續辦下去。
