Why put cities dates yet to come, they may be postponed or changed by then. The Olympics may cease to exist. It states "To have hosted a Summer or Winter Olympic games"...... surely these dates 2024, 2020, 2028 have not yet happened, either that or I've missed something.

Great foresight. Although there was no Olympics in 2020, they did manage to hold it in 2021.

Nice quiz. Thank you.

Small correction: London held the Olympics in 1908, 1948 & 2012 (not 1946).

Indeed, 1946 would not have been an Olympic year.
