Current charter requires IOC committee to select host of Olympic games 7 years out.
But with two strong bids (LA and Paris) for 2024, they are considering change which would allow them to award 2024 AND 2028 games.
Interesting.
I definitely think that Chicago not "returning" may have been a result of that old thinking.

Since December, Bach has repeated warnings about a bid process that produces "too many losers," suggesting concerns that the city which lost a 2024 vote would not return with a candidacy for the 2028 Olympics.
"We are in a comfortable situation. Now it will be up to the working group how to best explore, how to best exploit, the positive situation," Bach said. "We should not miss the opportunity to explore this opportunity."
