The 142nd IOC Session is an IOC Session that was held in Paris, France from 22 to 24 July and will resume for a single day on 10 August 2024.[1]
Proceedings
edit22 July
editThe opening ceremony for the Session was opened by French president Emmanuel Macron at the Louis Vuitton Foundation, in the Bois de Boulogne, and was termed as being "very sumptuous."[2]
23 July
editMeeting at the Palais des Congrès de Paris at the Porte Maillot for the rest of the session, the IOC voted for the Olympic Esports Series to be replaced by the Olympic Esports Games, with the first edition being held in Saudi Arabia in 2025.[3][4]
24 July
editBoth the 2030 and the 2034 Winter Olympics hosts were awarded at the session, with the French Alps and Salt Lake City each starting with their respective bid presentations, followed by a report from Karl Stoss, IOC Member and Chair of the Future Host City Commission of the Olympic Winter Games. Afterwards, the IOC proceeded with the voting on whether the committee accepted the French Alps and Salt Lake City, Utah as hosts of the 2030 and 2034 Winter Olympics, respectively.[5] This became the first instance in which a candidate city had been chosen in the same country, with the French Alps being chosen while the session was held in France.[6] The French bid also lacked financial commitment from the national and regional governments, which made host city election conditional on those guarantees.[7] The American bid had previously signed an agreement which entailed that the organizers and Utah politicians would lobby the federal government to overturn Rodchenkov Act, named for Grigory Rodchenkov. The law permitted the federal government wide jurisdiction in doping enforcement worldwide, following the World Anti-Doping Agency's declaration that 23 Chinese swimmers who failed drug tests could compete in the 2020 Summer Olympics.[8]
