> Every two years, major cities from around the world make competitive bids to the International Olympics Committee for a chance to host the Olympic Games. The choosing of the host city usually happens seven years before the Games in question take place. The cities whose bids are approved to be part of the selection are then put into a rigorous ten-month audit that seeks to ensure that they have what it takes to host an international sporting event. Some of the things that the IOC looks out for include a city’s ability to accommodate a large number of tourists, journalists, and athletes who will be jetting in for the games. Ample accommodation is a requirement that the IOC never compromises on. The city also has to have an efficient transport infrastructure that is organized to avoid delays since all Olympic events follow a strict schedule. There also has to be ample security as any danger to the athletes may disrupt the games. The host city has to have all the venues necessary for all the sporting disciplines, and these venues have to be of high standards. > https://www.worldatlas.com/articles/how-is-an-olympic-host-city-chosen.html
