Olympics 2020So where will the Olympics 2020 be held? After the secret voting on Saturday, September 7, 2013, the International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge made the announcement in Buenos Aires, Argentina, that Olympics 2020 will be held in Tokyo, Japan.

Tokyo will host the summer Olympics in 2020, after beating out Istanbul 60 to 36 for the honors in a final-round vote.

Tokyo previously hosted the Olympic games in 1964.

“Tokyo is one of the world’s most fascinating cities, and will provide a spectacular setting for the 2020 Olympic Games,” NBC Sports Group chairman Mark Lazarus said. “Tokyo is particularly special to NBC as our rich Olympic heritage began there with the 1964 Olympic Games. We are excited to return in 2020, 54 years later, to broadcast what will be our 17th Olympic Games overall and 11th consecutive, and to bring the stories and performances of the world’s greatest athletes home to American viewers.”
