Here’s Why NYC Has Never Hosted The Olympics—& Probably Won’t Anytime Soon
Since the first Olympic Games in Athens in 1896, NYC has never once hosted the worldwide tournament. Other U.S. cities such as Los Angeles, Salt Lake City, and Georgia have hosted the games, and even Lake Placid, New York was home to the 1980 & 1932 Winter Olympics, but never the city of New York. So why is that and will NYC ever be home to the Olympic rings? Let’s get into it! NYC made a bid to host the 2012 Olympics (along with Madrid, Moscow and Paris) but got beat out by London. And though the bid was unsuccessful, the infrastructure plans set forth for hosting the event were still brought to fruition for the most part. For example, without the Olympic rezoning efforts from 2012, Hudson Yards would not be the booming neighborhood it is today, nor would we have Hunter’s Point South Park or most likely the extension of the 7 train. On many accounts, London was described to have a stronger final presentation and lobbying to win the bid over NYC. London already had much of the transportation and infrastructure to host the games, whereas NYC required many new builds.
