FIRST WORD
To be blunt, LA 2024 has never been only about LA or 2024. Even when the issue of a dual award for the 2024 and 2028 Games was initially raised, we didn’t say it’s ‘LA first’ or it’s ‘now or never’ for LA: that sounds like an ultimatum.”
Casey Wasserman, chairman of the LA 2024 bid, in a statement Thursday about an expected IOC change that will award the 2024 and 2028 Summer Games at the same time. Paris and Los Angeles are the only cities bidding.
