Oh interesting, LA and Paris get 2024/2028 with no announcement on who gets what year. Double Olympics award.

LA2024 was very worried Trump would cause them to lose it.

Let's all do an ST vacation at the Paris Olympics. -- nm - David Jul 11, 10:37 17
- meh. If I'm spending time in Europe, it wouldn't be in Paris. -- nm - Strongbad Jul 11, 10:48 15
  - Huh? It's a must see city for me. Everyone I know that's been there loves it and wants to go back multiple times. -- nm - Krusty Jul 11, 11:06 1
    - It is an incredibly beautiful place and there's so much to do and see. -- nm - Diva Jul 11, 11:23
  - Word. -- nm - IrishStephen Jul 11, 10:51
  - have you been there before? -- nm - Diva Jul 11, 10:50 10
    - 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 loved Madrid so much. I'm headed to Lisbon this weekend, will report back. -- nm - MDH Jul 11, 11:07 2
        
        get some tarts! -- nm - Reagen Jul 11, 11:19
        
        i continue to be eternally obsessed with their sidewalks. -- nm - Andie Jul 11, 11:08
        
        I frikkin love London. -- nm - Diva Jul 11, 11:02 1
        
        The Amalfi Coast. Some limoncello watching the sea, suddenly a day and your sobriety have gone. -- nm - jnine Jul 11, 11:08
  - Sir, I'm going to have to ask you to step outside. -- nm - David Jul 11, 10:49
- I've seen LA. I'm in for Paris. -- nm - Beryllium Jul 11, 10:41
They were the only 2 cities still caring to bid. -- nm - Will Hunting Jul 11, 10:33 9
- Calgary may get 2026 for the same reason. -- nm - Reagen Jul 11, 10:56
- 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
        
        So, Pence and Mommy? -- nm - jnine Jul 11, 11:00
        
        THIS. -- nm - MDH Jul 11, 11:00
double the bribes! -- nm - Beaker Jul 11, 10:33
