Where is the next Summer and Winter Olympics?
AFTER a Covid-hit 2020 Olympic Games in Tokyo and an under-the-radar 2022 Winter Games in Beijing – fans already have their eyes on the next event.
The Coronavirus pandemic forced the 2020 Games to be delayed by a year, but the Japan event went ahead without fans.
The International Olympics Committee (IOC) had originally wanted Japanese spectators in the stands this summer, but the Japanese Government has declared a stage of emergency due to rising Coronavirus cases in the country.
That means that now the arenas will be completely empty of any fans for the duration of the Games.
Where are the next summer Olympics?
After the 2020 Tokyo Olympics in Tokyo, the Games are scheduled to return to Europe next time out.
A hundred years on from the last time it hosted the Games, the city of Paris is set to host the next Olympics.
After previously hosting in 1900 and 1924, Paris will become just the second city to host the Olympics three times.
The only other city to hold the Games three times is London in 1908, 1948 and 2012.
Where are the next Winter Olympics?
The next winter Olympics are in Milan-Cortina d'Ampezzo in Italy.
It is the second time Italy has hosted the Games in the past 20 years, having held the Games in Turin in 2006.
When are the next Olympics?
The Olympic Games are scheduled to be held every four years, although due to the Coronavirus pandemic it's been five years after the 2016 Olympics in Rio De Janeiro.
