L.A. among four U.S. cities in running for 2024 Olympic bid
The U.S. Olympic Committee has officially narrowed the list of American cities still in the running to bid for the 2024 Summer Games– and Los Angeles has made the cut. Boston, San Francisco and Washington D.C. are also included. “We’re extremely pleased with the level of interest U.S. cities have shown,” Scott Blackmun, the USOC’s chief executive said in a statement on Friday. “Boston, L.A., San Francisco and Washington have each given us reason to believe that they can deliver a compelling and successful bid.” There would be four venue clusters, with Exposition Park serving as the centerpiece. Events could be held at such disparate venues as the Hollywood Bowl and a downtown stadium that NFL proponents want to build near Staples Center.
“Los Angeles is the ideal Olympic city, with endless diversity, attractions and scenic beauty,” Mayor Eric Garcetti said in a statement. “I look forward to working with the USOC to ensure we present the strongest possible bid for our nation.”
