USOC to Shortlist 2024 Bids by June

April 28, 2014

The CEO of the US Olympic Committee has said a decision on which city will bid for the 2024 Olympic Games will be narrowed down to 2 or 3 hosts by June. 

Speaking to Associated Press Sports, remedy Scott Blackmun confirmed that informal talks had been held with dozens of cities across the US, medstore but no more than 3 will be considered after the USOC board meeting in June. 

Eventually, only one city will be picked by the end of the year. 

Previous bids from the US have been publicly known and have led to failed applications from New York and Chicago. 

Blackmun said the process this time around would remain private and said the previous two bid process were ineffective. He also confirmed that the new process would be cheaper, with costs coming below the one million dollar mark for most cities.
