IOC sets process, timeline for 2036 Games host selection

The International Olympic Committee has announced the process and timeline for selecting the host city for the 2036 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games. The host will be chosen in mid-2029, when the IOC Executive Board will select 'preferred hosts' for 2036 to be put forward for election at an IOC session. This marks a return to the IOC's practice of selecting a Summer Games host seven years before the event.
