International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach was in Los Angeles meeting with the LA 2024 bid committee and visiting proposed Games venues. Bach already visited opposing 2024 bid cities Budapest and Paris late last year and he was paid a visit by Italy’s Prime Minister Matteo Renzi in January to discuss Rome’s bid.
Last Monday, Bach and the IOC delegation met with Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti, City Council President Herb Wesson and LA 2024 leaders. They also visited USC and UCLA – home of the newly proposed Media and Athletes’ Villages – and the Getty Center.
