LA’s game plan for 2024 Olympics wins praise from foreign media – Los Angeles Times

Now the French get their turn.

Bid leaders seeking to win the 2024 Summer Games for Paris will spend Tuesday guiding Olympic officials on a tour of their city, stopping by the Eiffel Tower and the Palace of Versailles.

Los Angeles had the same opportunity last week, showing the evaluation commission from the International Olympic Committee a series of proposed venues ranging from the Coliseum to Santa Monica beach.

The assessment phase of the 2024 competition isn’t just about courting the IOC. The rival bid committees also hope to impress international media who can spread the word to distant countries where IOC voters live.
