The United States will bid for the 2024 Olympics, seeking to host the Summer Games for the first time since 1996, the country's Olympic committee said Tuesday.
Los Angeles, San Francisco, Boston and Washington are under consideration as sites, and the U.S. Olympic Committee said it expected to make a decision in January.
"We're so lucky to have four great cities... they all have compelling strengths," USOC Chief Executive Scott Blackmun said during a news conference. "We need to have a discussion of the pros and cons of each individual city."
USOC Chairman Larry Probst said the next step in the process would be to assemble the USOC board of directors again in January.
"Hopefully in the early part of next year we will reach a final decision about the city that we will take to move forward as our candidate city,'' Probst said. "This is going to be a really, really difficult decision and that's why we want to take our time and make sure that we get to the best possible decision."
