The 2016 Summer Olympics (officially known as the Games of the XXXI Olympiad) is a major international sports and cultural event. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has not yet been chosen a host city, but many cities have begun making a bid. A host city will be announced in Copenhagen, Denmark, on October 2, 2009. The 2016 Summer Paralympics will also be held in the same city and organized by the same organizing committee.

The bidding process for the 2016 Summer Olympic Games began on May 16, 2007.[1] Each city had to submit an initial application to the IOC before September 13, 2007, saying they plan to make a bid. Completed official bids must be submitted by each applicant city by January 14, 2008. The final candidate cities will be shortlisted in June 2008, and the final selection will be made by the full IOC membership, on October 2, 2009, in Copenhagen, Denmark.[2]
