LA gets the Olympics -- nm - Andie Jul 11, 10:28 32
- Is it basically because no one else is bidding? In Trump's America, setting an international event on American soil is poor planning. -- nm - Mop Jul 11, 10:59

        Confession: I've been to Paris a few times, it's beautiful, of course. But it's not amongst my fave European cities. -- nm - Andie Jul 11, 10:52 9
        
        Wary of Diva's wrath, I'm not a huge Paris fan either. -- nm - MDH Jul 11, 11:03 1
        
        Why wrath? -- nm - Diva Jul 11, 11:24
        
        I've only been to Paris and London (and I guess London isn't really Europe?). I can't wait to go back to both. Alas, money and time. - Diva Jul 11, 11:00 6
        
        I count London. :) London is #1 or #2. - Andie Jul 11, 11:01 5

    - I was at the LA2024 meeting in February. The worry in the room was evident. -- nm - MDH Jul 11, 10:34 7
      - worried they'd get it? :) -- nm - Diva Jul 11, 10:39 6
        
        Heh. Oh they wanted it real bad (I got to meet Allyson Felix, etc.) thought the current admin would ruin it. -- nm - MDH Jul 11, 10:42 5
        
        And it looks like LA is getting it in 2028, so they will be less happy. -- nm - MDH Jul 11, 10:48 4
        
        This doesn't make sense to me. The reasoning is because the infrastructure is already in place so it isn't time sensitive, but why not give the other - jnine Jul 11, 10:56 3
        
        No chance of Trump being around in 2028. -- nm - Andie Jul 11, 10:58 2
