The United States Olympic Committee will be entering the bid in order to host the 2024 Olympics. This move is in response to the 28 year absence of the Summer Olympic in the United States.

The Olympic Committee received for contenders to vote for; these cities are Boston, Los Angeles, San Francisco and the nation's capital Washington. The committee will be going over each cities proposal in order to choose the most appropriate city to host the prestigious event.

 Committee chairman Scott Blackmun said in an interview that it was a four-way tie in order not to violate the federation's closed-lip policy concerning the yearlong selection process. The chairman added "We had great presentations, new we have an opportunity to explore how everyone felt about the presentations. We'll reflect, come back after the holidays and see what's in the best interest for the United States."

The federation lost it last two for bids to host the Olympic Games. It lost to London for the 2012 Olympics and consequently to Rio de Janeiro for the upcoming 2016 Olympics. The federation did not enter the bidding process for the 2020 Olympics, which was won by Tokyo.

The chosen U.S. city will be competing to host the games against Rome in Italy and from German cities Hamburg and Berlin.

All the cities vying to host the games came in with projected operating budgets between $4 billion and $5 billion, a tremendously large amount if compared to previous biddings. The project budget doesn't include infrastructure and Olympic-related improvements that the cities need to make in order to please the keen eyes of the International Olympic Committee.

Max Siegel, CEO of the USA Track and Field said in an interview "They've done a tremendous job. They've been consistent, deliberate, invested in building meaningful relationships. Where we operate, I think people are noticing there's a genuine effort to be a contributing member."
