IOC agrees plan to find 'tripartite deal' with LA and Paris for 2024/2028 games

The International Olympic Committee's (IOC) members have unanimously backed a plan to make a dual award of the 2024 and 2028 Games at their next meeting in September.

This means the usual seven-year gap between the award and staging of a Games will be waived for 2028, providing the IOC's executive board can reach a "tripartite agreement" with the two bidding cities, Los Angeles and Paris.
