The International Olympic Committee (IOC) confirmed Paris as a host city for the 2024 Olympic Games, 100 years after the French capital last staged the event, at a ceremony in Lima on Wednesday. Los Angeles is set to take up the torch in 2028, for the third time, having already hosted the Olympics in 1932 and 1984. The Lausanne-based IOC took the unprecedented step of awarding two games simultaneously.
