Tokyo sorry over stadium change

Bach said after an IOC executive meeting on Wednesday that cleaning up the dangerously polluted Guanabara Bay where the sailing events will be held is the biggest challenge facing Rio ahead of the games.

The election of the host cities for the Olympic Winter Games 2022 and the Winter Youth Olympic Games 2020 will be the highlights of the upcoming IOC Session, which begins tomorrow and concludes on 3 August.

Applications for 2024 bid cities are due to the global Olympic Committee by September 15.

Over the next few months, Walsh inexorably pulled away from the full commitment expressed in the letter with public statements about not leaving the city on the hook for losses. Only seven weeks remain before cities have to be officially nominated, and officials in San Francisco and Washington D.C. are also expected to make a push.

“It’s not (only) bad for the U.S., but it’s bad for everybody”, IOC board member Juan Antonio Samaranch Jr. told the AP. “If committing to signing a guarantee today is what’s required to move forward, then Boston is no longer pursuing the Olympic and Paralympic Games”. “I think it would be very hard for any mayor to sign an agreement where we put taxpayer money at risk”, L.A. political consultant Rick Taylor told the newspaper.

According to Mori, the IOC side said that plans are inherently subject to change and that it would leave work on a new construction plan to the Tokyo committee. And I think that’s what they have to realize.

“There you see the vast effect of Olympic Agenda 2020, you see the same effect in the operational budget which is below $1.8 billion in both candidate cities”.

In the short span of time since the Boston Olympic bid was pulled, a stream of crticisim has flowed back and forth between the City of Boston’s leader and the Olympic organizations that he was partners with only days ago.

Embarrassing as the debacle in Boston may have been, chances are it will be nothing more than a distant memory when the vote for the 2024 Olympics finally rolls around.

The United States hasn’t hosted a Summer Olympics since the Atlanta Games in 1996, or any Olympics since the Salt Lake City Winter Games in 2002.

Bach wouldnt comment on the prospect of a bid from Los Angeles, which staged the 1932 and 1984 Olympics and now seems poised for a shot at joining London as a three-time host. Because Olympic Games are not economically viable.

“They won’t have to build temporary stadiums, which is expensive”, Reedie said.

“There were heartfelt people who believed this was the wrong city at the wrong time”. They also noted the continuing benefit of the Games, with millions of dollars distributed through the LA84 Foundation, which has managed and distributed excess funds from the 1984 Games.
