Where were the last Olympics Games? And the edition before that one? See how many you can remember

When choosing locations for the Olympic Games, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) specifically gives the honor of holding the Games to a city rather than a country. Indeed, the selection process, international politics, and investment involved with the Olympics has made the host city selection a major deal. Usually held every four years, the international sporting event was only ever cancelled due to World War I (1916) and World War II (1940 and 1944), and postponed due to the COVID-19 pandemic (2020). This year, the Games will be held in Paris. To get into the Olympic spirit, click on to recall the past host cities in the event's modern history.
