USOC likey to tap Los Angeles as 2024 bidder
If the United States is going to bid for the 2024 Olympics, that bid will come from Los Angeles, host of the 1932 and 1984 Games.
After a hastily called board meeting Wednesday, U.S. Olympic Committee CEO Scott Blackmun said he was optimistic the USOC could work out a plan to make Los Angeles the bidder.
The news comes two weeks after the USOC dropped a Boston bid that was short on support.
Blackmun revealed results of a poll of the L.A. area from this month that showed 81 percent support for hosting the Olympics.
