Boston to be U.S. bid city for 2024 Olympics
The US Olympic Committee has announced that Boston will be the US’s chosen bid city for the 2024 Summer Games.
“We’re excited about our plans to submit a bid for the 2024 Games and feel we have an incredibly strong partner in Boston that will work with us to present a compelling bid,” said the USOC chairman, Larry Probst. “We’re grateful to the leaders in each of the four cities for their partnership and interest in hosting the most exciting sports competition on earth. The deliberative and collaborative process that we put in place for selecting a city has resulted in a strong US bid that can truly serve the athletes and the Olympic and Paralympic movements.”
USOC received bids from Los Angeles, Boston, San Francisco and Washington DC to go forward as the US choice for 2024. Rome has already said it will bid for the Games, with Istanbul, Paris, Johannesburg and Melbourne among the other global cities to have shown an interest.
