LA 2024 in Spain for Olympic meeting
The LA 2024 candidate city logo for the city’s bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics is revealed at an event featuring city mayor Eric Garcetti, left, LA 2024 Chairman Casey Wasserman, and more than 100 Olympians and Para Olympians.
The private committee bidding to bring the Summer Games back to Los Angeles will have five representatives in Madrid this week to attend an International Olympic Committee workshop.
LA 2024 Chief Executive Gene Sykes and his staff are joined by Patrick Sandusky, the chief external affairs officer for the U.S. Olympic Committee.
Other LA 2024 members will participate by video conference.
L.A. is competing against Paris, Rome and Budapest for the 2024 Summer Games. This week’s meeting represents the latest step in a nearly two-year bidding process scheduled to end with an IOC vote in September 2017.
Sykes is bringing Danny Koblin, chief bid officer; Tamara Christopherson, associate director of athlete relations; Bill Hanway of the L.A.-based engineering firm AECOM; and Doug Arnot, sport director.
