Los Angeles and Paris had been competing to host the 2024 Olympics. In July, the IOC had determined that the two cities could decide between themselves as to which would host the Games in 2024, with the other then getting the hosting duties four years later.
With today's announcement, that means Paris will be the site of the 2024 Olympics.
It is the first time in the history of the Modern Olympics (in 1896) that the IOC had named two host cities at once.
