LIMA - International Olympic Committee (IOC) president Thomas Bach said Monday that there was "no doubt" that the Winter Olympics would go ahead in Pyeongchang in February, despite ongoing tensions on the Korean peninsula. The next Winter Games are due to take place in the South Korean city of Pyeongchang from February 9 to 25, 2018. IOC members on Wednesday are set to approve Paris as 2024 Olympics host, with Los Angeles hosting the 2028 Games. The executive board is meeting Monday and Tuesday ahead of the four-day IOC Session in Lima which will also get updates from upcoming hosts Pyeongchang (Winter 2018), Tokyo (Summer 2020) and Beijing (Winter 2022). "It's just exciting to see the way they embrace the Olympic Agenda," IOC president Thomas Bach said of Paris' and Los Angeles' bid applications.
