The race between Paris and Los Angeles to host the 2024 Summer Olympics may be heading for a compromise. Here’s what we know.
What’s happening Friday? The International Olympic Committee board is meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland, where it is expected to announce that it will simultaneously award both the 2024 and 2028 Summer Games, rather than only the first one. The presumption is that one Olympics will go to Paris and the other to Los Angeles.
Does this happen often? No. The cycle of the awarding each Games is well established, with one winner at the end.
