The Election of the Host City

The 108th Extraordinary Session adopted a new reform procedure in March, 1999. Under the new procedures IOC members were prohibited from visiting the candidate cities. Six cities made presentations to the Session on June 19, 1999. A Selection College was elected and appointed to choose two finalist cities.

Sion, Switzerland and Turin, Italy were chosen. The full OIC Session selected Turin to be the Host city for the XX Olympic Winter Games.
