LONDON (Reuters) - Paris Olympic bid officials have ruled out any possibility of the French capital hosting the 2028 Games and say it is 2024 or nothing. "(2028) is not an option for us," said the International Olympic Committee (IOC) member. IOC president Thomas Bach has hinted he would not be against awarding the 2024 Games and 2028 at the same time. Estanguet said Paris would have no problem with both Games being decided at once provided Los Angeles was given 2028. With photographs of abandoned and decaying venues from last year's Rio de Janeiro Games already doing the rounds, Estanguet promised that there would be no 'white elephants' left after a Paris Games.
