London wins 2012 Olympics London has defeated European rival Paris to host the 2012 Summer Games, bringing the Olympics back to Britain for the first time in more than half a century. International Olympic Committee president Jacques Rogge made the announcement after IOC members eliminated the French capital in the fourth and final round of secret voting Wednesday in Singapore.
"The International Olympic Committee has the honor of announcing that the Games of the 30th Olympiad in 2012 are awarded to the city of London," Rogge declared after opening a sealed envelope containing the result.
Thousands of people in London's Trafalgar Square cheered as they watched the announcement on giant TV screens.
London has twice played host to the Olympics, in 1908 and 1948. It becomes the first city to host the Olympics three times.
British Prime Minister Tony Blair hailed the victory as "a momentous day for London."
