Proceedings

22 July

The opening ceremony for the Session was opened by French president Emmanuel Macron at the Louis Vuitton Foundation, in the Bois de Boulogne, and was termed as being "very sumptuous." [2]

23 July

Meeting at the Palais des Congrès de Paris at the Porte Maillot for the rest of the session, the IOC voted for the Olympic Esports Series to be replaced by the Olympic Esports Games, with the first edition being held in Saudi Arabia in 2025. [3] [4] The IOC also received updates on the Olympic AI Agenda, noting over 180 potential use cases for AI across the Olympic Movement. [5]

24 July

Both the 2030 and the 2034 Winter Olympics hosts were awarded at the session, with the French Alps and Salt Lake City each starting with their respective bid presentations, followed by a report from Karl Stoss, IOC Member and Chair of the Future Host City Commission of the Olympic Winter Games. Afterwards, the IOC proceeded with the voting on whether the committee accepted the French Alps and Salt Lake City, Utah as hosts of the 2030 and 2034 Winter Olympics, respectively. [6]

The French bid was a latecomer in the competition to host, [7] going into "targeted dialogue" with the IOC in late November 2023, [8] only four months after declaring its intention to host the previous July. [7] [9] [10] In contravention of the Olympic Charter, with the French Alps being chosen while the session was held in France, this became the first instance in which a candidate city had been chosen in the same country, the last time occurring in 1939 for the 1944 Olympic Games when no such prohibition existed. [11] The year previous, a delay to 2025 was speculated by the media. [12] [13] Rule 33, Number 4 of the then-in force Charter forbids the election of a host city to take place in a country that is itself holding the Session for that election, stating "[t]he election of the host of the Olympic Games takes place in a country having no candidature for the organization of the Olympic Games concerned." [12] [13] [14] [15]

The French bid also lacked financial commitment from the national and regional governments, which made host city election conditional on those guarantees. [16] At the time, even though the French president had no power to sign a formal financial and security guarantee, bid organizers expressed not doubt they would secure it following the 2024 French legislative election, which made the prime minister head of a caretaker government while a new one was chosen. This person in turn would be the signer when instructed by the president, with a deadline for 1 October 2024 set by the IOC. The French National Assembly would have to ratify it by 1 March 2025 to satisfy the IOC's conditions. [17]

The American bid had previously signed an agreement which entailed that the organizers and Utah politicians would lobby the federal government to overturn Rodchenkov Act, named for Grigory Rodchenkov. The law permitted the federal government wide jurisdiction in doping enforcement worldwide, following the World Anti-Doping Agency's declaration that 23 Chinese swimmers who failed drug tests could compete in the 2020 Summer Olympics.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Winter Olympic Games</span> Major international multi-sport event

The Winter Olympic Games, also known as the Winter Olympics, is a major international multi-sport event held once every four years for sports practiced on snow and ice. The first Winter Olympic Games, the 1924 Winter Olympics, were held in Chamonix, France. The modern Olympic Games were inspired by the ancient Olympic Games, which were held in Olympia, Greece, from 776 BCE to 394 CE. The Baron Pierre de Coubertin of France founded the International Olympic Committee (IOC) 1,500 years later in 1894, leading to the first modern Summer Olympic Games in Athens, Greece in 1896. The IOC is the governing body of the Olympic Movement, with the Olympic Charter defining its structure and authority. The original five Winter Olympic Sports were bobsleigh, curling, ice hockey, Nordic skiing, and skating. The Games were held every four years from 1924 to 1936, interrupted in 1940 and 1944 by World War II, and resumed in 1948. Until 1992, the Summer Olympic Games and the Winter Olympic Games were held in the same year. A decision to change this was made in 1986, when during the 91st International Olympic Committee session, IOC members decided to alternate the Summer Olympic Games and the Winter Olympic Games on separate four-year cycles in even-numbered years. Also, at that same congress it was decided that 1992 Winter Olympics would be the last to be held in the same year as the Summer Games and that to change the rotation, the games that would be held in 1996 would be brought forward by two years, being scheduled to 1994. After those games, the next were to be held in 1998 when the four-year Olympic Cycle resumed.
