In June, Brisbane was unanimously proposed as the single candidate for 2032 by the IOC's 15-strong executive board.
This means IOC has now secured hosts for the next three Summer Olympics. Paris will host the event in 2024 while Los Angeles will host the 2028 Games and Brisbane to organise the 2032 Olympic Games.

Before the vote, Australian Prime Minister Scott Morrison said that "We know what it takes to deliver a successful Games".
