An air of uncertainty has been hanging over the bidding process with the International Olympic Committee considering a proposal that would mean the 2024 and 2028 Games both being awarded on September 13 during a congress in Lima.
Garcetti said at a sunset press conference at Santa Monica beach. In 2024, Long Beach would have the largest sports park outside of downtown Los Angeles, with a record six sports: handball in the Long Beach Arena, water polo and BMX in temporary venues around the Arena, the triathlon and open water swimming just south on the beach, and sailing off the Belmont Veterans Memorial Pier.
"We are still in a process where we assess a potential candidacy for 2024", said Baumann. "So we are going to produce a photobook for every athlete in the competition", Wasserman said. Meanwhile, it also presented the beauty and the spirit of the city. "The legacy of 1984 lives on, not only in the venues, but more important in the people who were inspired by those games".
The IOC commission's visit starts on Sunday with discussions on Paris' proposals that will be followed by venue visits on Monday and further meetings on the final day.
Paris, the only other city in the running for the 2024 Olympics, will get their chance to showcase their bid next week but LA threw down the gauntlet to the French capital with a plan that commission leader Patrick Baumann said had no major risks and venues that he gushed as "mind-blowing".
Tony Estanguet will be President of the Paris 2024 Organising Committee if they are awarded the Olympic and Paralympic Games, it was announced here today. Envisioning the 2024 Olympic Games in Los Angeles takes imagination. LA Mayor Eric Garcetti has said his bid is the right choice for the IOC and "why not" choose it first, while Paris' Estanguet continues to emphasize that due to the Olympic Village project, his city is simply not available for 2028. We are ready to share with them everything that Paris has to offer and demonstrate why Paris is the flawless partner and ideal host of the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games.

Sacrifice flies by Lorenzo Cain and Jorge Bonifacio in the fifth gave the Royals a 3-2 lead. "And our relief pitchers too". I'm just constantly trying to work on being able to cover the entire plate.
They also clearly connected with Baumann even if he didn't always grasp their California pop references.
"But from what we have seen here is that they would be a transformative vision for the Games moving forward". "We've seen him practicing volleyball. The commission's advice was that probably there was some more practice needed to get to that point".
Still, Los Angeles officials continue to insist that an International Olympic Committee plagued by corruption scandals and economic debacles needs to return to the city sooner rather than later.
"I want every city in the world in 2025 to line up and say the Olympics are something we want to have in our town too", he continued.
The last time Los Angeles hosted, in 1984, the home shoal dominated in the pool, with 21 gold atop 34 medals, Canada, West Germany, the Netherlands, Australia, Great Britain and France following on the table.
The City of Light rolled out the red carpet for the International Olympic Committee and media many of whom arrived as well from LA to follow the Evaluation Commission to the French capital.
