USOC BOD Set To Decide On Bid City For '24 Games

The USOC BOD today will gather at Denver Int'l Airport to decide whether to choose Boston, DC, L.A. or S.F. as the U.S. bid city for the '24 Games. USOC leaders will then "hop on a plane to the winning city to present the plan with local officials" tomorrow (BOSTON GLOBE, 1/8). Instead of a "formal vote," the members "may come to an agreement after discussing the four contenders at their closed-door session." The choice "would be announced following the meeting" (BOSTON GLOBE, 1/8).

It is "difficult to identify a clear-cut favorite" (SAN JOSE MERCURY NEWS, 1/8). However, the winner "automatically will become a favorite" when the IOC selects a host in the summer of '17 (L.A. TIMES, 1/8).
