2030 Winter Olympics

(Redirected from 2030 Winter Games)

The 2030 Winter Olympics (French: Jeux olympiques d'hiver de 2030), officially known as the XXVI Olympic Winter Games and branded as French Alps 2030 (Alpes françaises 2030), is an upcoming international multi-sport event scheduled to take place across the French Alps from 8 to 24 February 2030. Venues will be located in the departments of Alpes-Maritimes and Hautes-Alpes in Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur, and the departments of Haute-Savoie and Savoie in Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes. The host region was announced at the 142nd IOC Session in Paris on 24 July 2024, two days before the start of the 2024 Summer Olympics.[2]

Bidding process

edit
Further information: Bids for the 2030 Winter Olympics

The new IOC bidding process was approved at the 134th IOC Session on 24 June 2019 in Lausanne, Switzerland. The key proposals, driven by the relevant recommendations from Olympic Agenda 2020, are:[3][4]

  • Establish a permanent, ongoing dialogue to explore and create interest among cities/regions/countries and National Olympic Committees for any Olympic event
  • Create two Future Host Commissions (Summer and Winter Games) to oversee interest in future Olympic events and report to the IOC executive board
  • Give the IOC Session more influence by having non-executive board members form part of the Future Host Commissions.

The IOC also modified the Olympic Charter to increase its flexibility in choosing hosts by making the date of elections more flexible and allowing multiple cities, regions, or countries to host instead of only single cities, regions or countries.

According to the Future Host Commission's rules of conduct, the new IOC bidding system is divided into 2 dialogue stages:[5]

  • Continuous dialogue involving non-committal discussions between the IOC and interested parties (City/Region/Country/NOC interested in hosting) with regard to hosting future Olympic events.
  • Targeted dialogue with one or more interested parties (called preferred host(s)), as instructed by the IOC Executive Board. This follows a recommendation by the Future Host Commission as a result of continuous dialogue. Following a recommendation by the International Olympic Committee (IOC)'s Future Host Commission for the Olympic Winter Games, the IOC Executive Board (EB) on 29 November 2023 invited the French National Olympic Committee (CNOSF) into "Targeted Dialogue" towards hosting the Olympic and Paralympic Winter Games 2030 in the French Alps.[6]

Host selection

edit

The French Alps was confirmed as host of the 2030 Winter Olympics at the 142nd IOC Session on 24 July 2024 in Paris, France. Asper the new format of choosing future Olympic Games host cities from the IOC's Agenda 2020, the vote was in a form of a referendum to the 95 IOC delegates.[7] Like the 2024 and 2028 Summer Olympics, the 2030 and 2034 Winter Olympics were awarded simutaneously; the first to France and the second to the United States.

Development and preparations

edit

A decision on the 2030 Winter Olympics host city has been delayed until 24 July 2024, to allow the IOC more time to carefully plan the future of the Winter Olympics.[8] However, at the 141st IOC Session in Mumbai, where these games were originally set to be awarded, the IOC approved to award both the 2030 and 2034 Winter Olympics at the 142nd IOC Session in Paris on the eve of the 2024 Summer Olympics.[9]
