U.S. Olympic leaders have started contacting Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington about the possibility of bidding for the 2024 Games and believe the demise of Boston's candidacy will be ''ancient history'' by the time the host city is selected in 2017. In an interview Saturday with The Associated Press, U.S. Olympic Committee chairman Larry Probst said a decision will be made by the end of August on which of three cities should replace Boston as the American contender in a race that already features four European cities. ''We've got to reconnect with the three cities that were part of the group of finalists,'' Probst said on the sidelines of the IOC general assembly in Kuala Lumpur.

USOC is out of their minds. California is broke, and can't even build water management facilities. I think if they have a few billion to spend, it should go for THAT.

So forget LA or SF.

That leaves Washington D.C., and where are they going to fit all those facilities? So it would have to be more like Virginia/D.C./Maryland and good luck coordinating that.
