The International Olympic Committee appears to have moved a step closer towards awarding both the 2024 and 2028 Games at a meeting later this year. “All the options are on the table, and this includes also the ’24-’28 procedure and vote,” Bach said as he announced the formation of the working group. Currently, only the right to host the 2024 Olympics is to be decided when the IOC meets in Lima, Peru in September. “We have two excellent candidates there from two major Olympic countries,” Bach said. Committees representing last two cities seeking to host the 2024 Games, Los Angeles and Paris, are to make formal presentations of their hosting plans at that meeting.
