IOC president: Boston 2024 didn’t deliver on promises to USOC

Boston 2024 didn’t deliver on promises made to the U.S. Olympic Committee, leading to the end of its bid, International Olympic Committee president Thomas Bach said Wednesday.

“Boston, obviously, did not deliver on promises they made to the USOC when they were selected [in January],” Bach said in a news conference in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. “Therefore we can understand the decision by USOC, and we are looking forward to an American bid with another city.”

Bach did not elaborate on the promises but said the IOC has a commitment from the USOC that it will bid for the 2024 Olympics with another city.
