A giant banner was unfurled at Paris' Alexander III bridge on Saturday as the city marked the last day of its final push to host the 2024 Olympics. The French capital transformed itself on Friday into a giant Olympic park as part of its final campaign to woo officials from the International Olympic Committee. Paris and U.S. rival Los Angeles are the only two cities bidding to stage the 2024 Olympics, and the French capital held a string events over the weekend to promote its credentials.

Every Olympic host country faces a question after the Olympics end: What should happen with the stadiums and sports venues it built? Some countries have come up with creative uses for the venues, but many of those facilities end up abandoned. Here's a look at the "afterlives" of some of the athletic venues built for some recent Olympic games.

Rio de Janeiro Brasil sede das Olimpíadas de 2016 - Tema Oficial dos Jogos Olímpicos do Rio de Janeiro 2016 The host city for an Olympic Games is usually chosen seven years ahead of their celebration.[143] The process of selection is currently carried out in two phases that span over a two-year period. The prospective host city first applies to its country's Olympic Committee; if more than one city from the same country submits a proposal to its NOC, the national committee typically holds an internal selection, since only one city per NOC can be presented to the International Olympic Committee for consideration. Once the deadline for submission of proposals by the NOCs is reached, the first phase (Application) begins with the applicant cities asked to complete a questionnaire regarding several key criteria related to the organization of the Olympic Games.[144] In this form, the applicants must give assurances that they will comply with the Olympic Charter and with any other regulations established by the IOC Executive Committee.[143] The evaluation of the filled questionnaires by a specialized group provides the IOC with an overview of each applicant's project and their potential to host the Games. Based on this technical evaluation, the IOC Excutive Board selects the applicants that will proceed to the candidature stage.[144] Once the candidate cities are selected, they must submit to the IOC a bigger and more detailed presentation of their project as part of a candidature file. Each city is thoroughly analyzed by an evaluation commission. This commission will also visit the candidate cities, interviewing local officials and inspecting prospective venue sites, and submits a report on its findings one month prior to the IOC final decision. During the interview process the candidate city must also guarantee that it will be able to fund the Games.[143] After the work of the evaluation commission, a list of candidates is presented to the General Session of the IOC, which is assembled in a country that must not have a candidate city in the running. The IOC members gathered in the Session have the final vote on the host city. Once elected, the host city bid committee (together with the NOC of the respective country) signs a Host City Contract with the IOC, officially becoming an Olympic host nation and host city.[143] By 2016, the Olympic Games will have been hosted by 44 cities in 23 countries, but by cities outside Europe and North America on only eight occasions. Since the 1956 Summer Olympics in Melbourne, Australia, the Olympics have been held in Asia or Oceania four times, a sharp increase when compared to the three times in the previous 92 years of modern Olympic history. The 2016 Games in Rio will be the first for South America. No bids from countries in Africa have ever succeeded. The countries that sent the most athletes to the 2008 Summer Olympics are China with 639, the United States with 596, and Russia who brought 455 athletes.[145] The United States has hosted four Summer and four Winter Olympics, more than any other nation. Among Summer Olympics host nations, the United Kingdom has been the host of two Games, and will host its third Olympics in 2012. Germany, Australia, France, and Greece are the other nations to have hosted the Summer Olympics twice. Concerning the Winter Olympics, France took the hosting job for three times, while Switzerland, Austria, Norway, Japan, and Italy have done it twice. The next Games, to be held in Vancouver, will be Canada's second Winter Olympics and third overall.
