The Malaysian city was chosen Tuesday as the venue for the 127th session, or general assembly, of the International Olympic Committee. Lima, Peru, had been the other candidate. The bidding process for the 2022 Games has not yet started. The IOC will select the host for the 2020 Summer Olympics at its session in Buenos Aires, Argentina, in September 2013. http://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/kuala-lumpur-will-host-ioc-meeting-in-2015-where-2022-winter-games-city-will-be-selected/2012/03/13/gIQAp4Gr9R_story.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gotosy Posted March 13, 2012 Author Report Share Posted March 13, 2012 ...just to clarify Kuala Lumpur is set to host the 127th International Olympic Committee (IOC) Session after it was put forward as the sole candidate for election. The Malaysian capital was chosen by the IOC Executive Board here today following an Evaluation report which ruled out Lima, its only rival. ... Providing the decision is formally ratified by the full IOC Session at London in July, Kuala Lumpur will become the ninth Asian city to host the event, which has been annually since 1894, apart from breaks for World Wars. http://www.insidethe...ics-are-decided Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soaring Posted March 14, 2012 Report Share Posted March 14, 2012 Good choice. Do you think a U.S. city will ever host an IOC session outside of their history of only hosting when a U.S. city has the Olympics? I don't think so, since there are many cities/countries who will jump at the opportunity since it isn't feasible to host the Olympics. congratulation to my beloved country!..and welcome to all delegation in 2015..! May we see Denver victorious!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guardian Posted March 16, 2012 Report Share Posted March 16, 2012 I don't know if this was true or not, but one news source stated that KL wants to host an IOC Session, in order to boost its prospects on wanting to bid for the 2024 Olympic Games.

gotosy Posted May 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 16, 2012 IOC Inspects 2015 Site The 2015 IOC Session Coordination Commission visit to Kuala Lumpur went satisfactorily. “Overall the Commission was satisfied with the proposals submitted,” said a post on the Olympic Council of Asia website about the May 8-9 visit. Delegates inspected the proposed venues – the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre and Mandarin Oriental. Additionally, the commission sought “assurances from the government on the issuance of visas to all participants and clarifications and details on security and the budget.” Now the IOC must confirm the dates of the Session. The Olympic Council of Malaysia proposed July 25 to 31. ATR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
