　　奥运会申办国

　　In order to host the Olympics, a city must submit aproposal to the IOC. After all proposals have beensubmitted, the IOC votes. If no city with the fewestvotes is eliminated,the voting continues, until amajority winner is determined. Typically theGames are awarded several years in advance, allowing the winning city time to prepare for theGames.

　　In selecting the site of the Olympic Games, the IOC considers a number of factors, and chieflyamong them is which organizing committee seems most likely to stage the Games effectively. The IOC also considers which parts of the world have not yet hosted the Games. For instance, Tokyo, the host of the 1964 Summer Games, and Beijing, that of the 2008 Games, were chosenin part to popularize the Olympic movement in Asia. Because of growing importance televisionworldwide, the IOC in recent years has also taken into account the host city's time zone. Whenever the Games take place in the USA or Canada, for example, American televisionnetworks are willing to pay specially higher amounts for television rights because they canbroadcast popular events live in the best viewing hours.

　　Once the Games have been awarded, it is the duty of the local organizing committee----not theIOC or the NOC of the host city's country to provide them with money. This is often done with apart of the Olympic television revenues, and corporate sponsorships,tickets sales, and othersmaller revenue sources. In many cases there is also direct government support.

　　Although many cities have achieved amounts of money by hosting the Games, the Olympicscan be financially risky. When the financial gains from the Games were less than expected, thecity was left with large debts.
