Int'l Olympic Committee Seeking Bid Cities For 2024 Summer Olympics

The IOC "will soon be seeking suitors for the 2024 Summer Olympics," according to the AP. It "will be hoping to attract a competitive, high-profile field to show there are cities that want to host the games rather than shun them." Even before Oslo became the fourth city to drop out of the race for the 2022 Games, the IOC "started reviewing its bidding system to make it more appealing and less expensive for future host cities." Making the process more flexible is central to IOC President Thomas Bach's "Olympic Agenda 2020" reform package. Recommendations "are being finalized this week at an IOC executive board meeting in Montreux, Switzerland." Potential bidders for 2024 "are waiting to see exactly what changes are being made." Bids "will need to be submitted next year." The host city "will be chosen in 2017." Bach said, "There is strong interest (in '24). We are getting more and more signals and questions about 2024 and what changes they can expect. You can already see there is a very positive attitude" (AP, 10/20).
