Here's a look at a timeline of United States cities hosting throughout Olympic history, and some major moments from each of those Games.
In 2028, the Summer Olympics will take place in Los Angeles, making it the ninth time that the U.S. has played hostThis winter’s Beijing Games marks the second time that the Chinese city has hosted the Olympics. They will also be the first city to have hosted both the Summer and Winter Olympics.When the Olympics return to the United States, the host country will have some experience under its belt.
Despite the low attendance from athletes, a record American crowd gathered live to see the Opening Ceremony in the newly-constructed Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum. The Los Angeles Olympics were also historic for another reason: It was the first time in Olympic history that the Games were cut to just 16 days. Previously, competition had lasted 79 days.Squaw Valley put forward a bid to the International Olympic Committee in 1955 before the resort even existed.
The 1984 Olympics is where rhythmic gymnastics, synchronised swimming, the women’s cycling road race and the women’s marathon all made their Olympic debuts. It is also where the first paraplegic athlete took part in a medal event when archer Neroli Fairhall of New Zealand competed in a wheelchair.A dozen years later, the Summer Olympics returned to the United States when Atlanta hosted the 1996 Games.
Originally, the winning bid for the 2028 Games was scheduled to be announced in mid-2021. However, after a number of cities withdrew from bidding for both the 2022 Winter Olympics and the 2024 Summer Olympics, the International Olympic Committee decided to jointly award the 2024 and 2028 Games in July 2017.
