USPA NEWS - Boston having withdrawn its candidature for the games amid failing public support, Los Angeles is expected to enter into competition. At the beginning, four American cities were candidate for Olympic Games 2024 : Boston, Los Angeles, San Fransisco and Washington. The USOC in January picked Boston...
The USOC said it still hopes to pick a U.S. candidate to compete for the games, against a lineup including Paris, Rome, Budapest and Hamburg. The deadline for the cities to bid is September 15, 2015. It is not sure that those last cities will be the only ones. Doha (Qatar) for example, or Istanbul (Turkey) could be part of it too.


The name of the city chosen will be announced during the annual Congres of the International Olympic Committee at Lima, in PERU, in 2017.
International Olympic Committe President, Thomas BACH, has "Great Interest" in Toronto's plans to bid for 2024 Olympic Games. The reason could be that CANADA could feel encouraged by the Pan Am Games by the fact that most of the facilities are already there.

No cities will be cut before the final ballot unless the Executive Board deems that rules have been broken or guarantees not provided.

"it is not easy to invite the cities to tell us how they think the Olympic Games fist best in their sustainable development, into their social, finacial, environmental and sports plans and then afterwards to tell them that they're wrong with their ideas," Thomas BACH said (gamesbids.com)
