134th IOC Session

The 134th IOC Session was the IOC Session which was held in Lausanne, Switzerland, on 24 June 2019.

Milan, Italy, was the sole bidder to host the 134th IOC Session and was elected in a unanimous vote at the 131st IOC Session in Lima in September 2017. However, in 2018 there was a late Italian bid to host the 2026 Winter Olympics in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo (which hosted the 1956 Winter Olympics). The Olympic Charter does not allow a session to take place in a country that has a candidate for the Olympic Games awarded at the session. Consequently, the IOC session was moved to the SwissTech Convention Center in Lausanne.

The host city of the 2026 Winter Olympics was elected at the 134th IOC Session. Bids were submitted to the IOC in 2018.

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) officially inaugurated its new headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, on 23 June during the celebration of Olympic Day. In 2019 this symbolic day marks the 125th anniversary of the creation of the IOC.[1]

Ten new IOC members were elected at the session. The new members are:
