134th IOC Session

IOC session in Lausanne, Switzerland, 24, 25, 26 June 2019


The 134th IOC Session was the IOC Session which was held in Lausanne, Switzerland on 24 June 2019.[1]

Bidders

Milan, Italy was the sole bidder to host the 134th IOC Session and was elected in a unanimous vote at the 131st IOC Session in Lima in September 2017.[2] However, in 2018 there was a late Italian bid to host the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo (which hosted the 1956 Winter Olympics).[3] The Olympic Charter does not allow a session to take place in a country that has a candidate for the Olympic Games awarded at the session. Consequently, the IOC session was moved to the SwissTech Convention Center in Lausanne.[1]
