Dear MEL
Topic Readers,
Paris and Los
Angeles set to get 2024 and 2028 Olympics
Do you
remember the last three cities that hosted the Olympic Games? Do you know where
the next games will be hosted?
2008: Beijing, China
2012: London, the UK
2016: Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
2020: Tokyo, Japan
2024: Paris or Los Angeles
2028: Los Angeles or Paris
You can see
that all these cities are mega cities that can host such huge game events and accommodate
a large number of athletes and visitors from all over the world for a short
period time.
But the truth
is that this once-every-four-year prestigious sports extravaganza costs more
than the projected revenues or budget. In fact, these two cities are the only
competitors left for the 2024 games.
Now, the IOC
has given a chance to these two cities to decide which will host 2024 games and
which will wait until 2028. If they can’t reach an agreement, the IOC will
decide which city to host 2024 games and leave 2028 event for open.
Enjoy reading
and thinking which year would you like to host the games if you sat in the mayor’s
chair of either city.
