A potential bid from America for the 2024 Olympics and Paralympics is receiving strong support already from International Olympic Committee (IOC) members it was claimed today by Larry Probst, President of the United States Olympic Committee (USOC). On my various trips - whether it was Buenos Aires, Lausanne or Rome - in the last three or four months I have heard a lot of encouragement from various IOC members about the US putting forward a bid for 2024, said Probst after a meeting of the USOC Board of Directors in San Francisco. Last month a delegation from the USOC visited several cities who had expressed an interest in bidding for 2024, including Boston, Dallas, Los Angeles, Philadelphia, San Francisco and Washington. It is our intention to bid for 2024 if all the elements are in place and obviously we have the right message, we have the right technical plan, we have the financial support from the local community, we have the Governmental support , said Probst.
