No, those are held by the International Olympic Committee.
The first modern Olympics was held in 1896 after the International Olympic Committee, or IOC, voted to host the games every four years. The 1896 Olympic Games were held in Athens.
The "International Olympic Committee" (IOC) organizes the modern Olympic Games and the Youth Olympic Games, held in Summer and Winter, every four years.
The International Olympic Committee (IOC) makes this selection. Cities vie for the Olympics and put in bids. The committee then weighs several factors and eventually makes their decision.

They might be. The Winter Olympics are held in different places around the world as chosen by the Olympic Committee.
I think it is the 1906 Olympic Games held in Athens, Greece. It is not officially recognised by the International Olympic Committee (IOC) as it is the first and only mid-cycle Intercalated Games to be held in Athens, Greece where some traditons were embraced.
Viktor Balck (not Black) was a member of the International Olympic Committee at the time the Olympic Winter Games were first held in 1924, but he did not compete as an athlete.
The Olympics are in a different city each time they are held. Cities put in 'bids' with the International Olympic Committee in an attempt to get selected by the IOC to hold the Olympic Games. The IOC selects the cities that will hold the Olympics many years in advance. A link below shows all the cities that have hosted the games.
The responsibility of the International Olympic Committee is to assign the location where the Olympics will be held. They also make sure that all rules are followed as to age and fitness of the athletes. In some ways they are also responsible for the safety of the athletes.
Countries bid on the games and the Olympic committee makes the selection.
