London, England, 2012: the first city in history to host the Olympic Games three times.
First: London 1908.
The second: London 1948.
Third: London 2012, the 30th Olympic Games.
The host city of the 2012 Summer Olympics was announced on the evening of July 6. In the fourth round of voting by the IOC, London defeated Paris to become the host city of the 30th Olympic Games, after being eliminated from Moscow, New York and Madrid. In this way, London will take over the banner of the Olympic Movement after the Beijing Olympics.
London, the world's most glorious metropolis, has hosted the Olympics twice, in 1908 and 1948, and this time they applied and quickly became the favourite. Paris, the "City of Romance", has hosted two Olympic Games before, in 1900 and 1924. In recent years, Paris has been actively involved in the Olympic bid, but the first two bids have failed.
Among them, in July 2001, they lost to Beijing and missed out on the right to host the 2008 Olympic Games. However, they quickly recovered from the shadow of defeat and confidently announced their bid for the 2012 Olympic Games. Of this year's five candidate cities, they are considered the biggest hits.
The other three cities are New York, Madrid, and Moscow. However, New York's public opposition to the city's bid for the Olympics is very high, and the bid plan is not perfect, so it is very difficult to succeed; Madrid has never hosted the Olympics, and although they have the support of the people and the royal family, their ability to protect their safety has been questioned. As the capital of Russia, historic Moscow is affected by various factors and is not favored.
The results of the first three rounds of voting were as expected. In the first round of voting, Moscow received the fewest votes and was the first to be eliminated. Their representatives will then have the opportunity to vote later.
In the second round of voting, New York in the United States received the fewest votes and could not escape the fate of being eliminated. In the third round of voting, no city received more than half of the votes in advance. Madrid, which was considered a possible "dark horse", received the fewest votes in the round and was also eliminated.
The suspense of the host city elections was left to the final round, with Paris "dueling" the equally powerful London. In this round of voting, the two sides did not embarrass IOC President Rogge to a draw, but rather came out on top. After an almost suffocating wait, a 13-year-old Chinese-Singaporean girl handed Rogge a letter with results.
After thanking the people of Singapore, the host country, the countries that had previously applied and the five candidate cities, Rogge announced to the world that he would hand over the hosting of the 30th Olympic Games to London.
