Strictly speaking, it is not the country that is chosen for the Olympics, but the city itself.
That is, it is impossible to submit an application from a country, and then, having received approval, decide in which city to conduct it.
First, the country chooses a city or several cities that are most suitable for hosting the games.
As an application, the city must provide a kind of booklet – it usually resembles a multi page color advertisement, but the structure is much more complicated.
The application booklet contains a project that describes the city's capabilities, infrastructure, geography,natural conditions and much more.
It indicates not only the conditions that have already been created, but also the potential opportunities of the city and the country.
The political situation can play a big role in choosing a country.
For example, the IOC (International Olympic Committee) is unlikely to approve the application of a state in which popular unrest or military actions often occur, even if it has an extremely developed infrastructure.
As for the city, it must meet some mandatory criteria.
First of all, it should be a popular city, the name of which is well known to everyone.
It is not necessarily the capital of the state.
For example, the 2014 Olympic Games will be held in Sochi, and not in Moscow, since the geographical conditions of Sochi are much better suited for hosting the winter Games.
In addition, both the summer and winter resort of Sochi even before the start of the Olympic construction had a good infrastructure and a set of sports facilities.
So, the country must apply for a booklet to host the Olympics in a particular city 7 years before the proposed games – such a long period is necessary so that, if successful, all the Olympic facilities announced in the booklet can be built in the city.
Then the members of the evaluation commission make trips to the declared cities and give their opinion on the feasibility of holding the games.
Many countries can apply for the same Olympiad.
After the initial selection, there are no more than five it is among them that the new Olympic capital is chosen.
The voting is secret, the members of the selection committee have the right to vote.
