List of Olympic Games host cities
[edit]1 Originally awarded to Chicago, but moved to St. Louis to coincide with the World's Fair.[2][3]
2 Equestrian events were held in Stockholm, Sweden.[4] Stockholm had to bid for the equestrian competition separately; it received its own Olympic flame and had its own formal invitations and opening & closing ceremonies, just like the regular Summer Olympics.[5]
3 Equestrian events were held in China's Hong Kong SAR.[6] Although Hong Kong's separate NOC conducted the equestrian competition, it was an integral part of the Beijing Games; it is not conducted under a separate bid, flame, etc., as was the 1956 Stockholm equestrian competition. The IOC website lists only Beijing as the host city.[7]
4 While Russia/Soviet Union spans the continents of Europe and Asia, both Moscow and Sochi are located in the European region.
