Lake Placid bids for the Winter Olympics

The village of Lake Placid, New York, in the United States, has submitted seven bids to the International Olympic Committee (IOC) to host the Winter Olympic Games, and it has been awarded the Games twice, in 1932 and 1980. Lake Placid has also applied to the United States Olympic & Paralympic Committee (USOPC, formerly USOC) on six other occasions with a potential bid, only for the USOC to choose another American city as its nominee to present to the IOC.
