Estados Unidos - JJOO 2018

No Bid From USOC For 2018 Winter Games

The Gazette reports the United States Olympic Committee (USOC) won't be bidding to host the 2018 Winter Olympic Games, putting a bid from Denver to host its first Winter Games on hold.
Chicago is one of four finalists in the race for the 2016 Summer Olympics and the host city will be selected Oct. 2, 2009, weeks before the IOC deadline for receiving applications from 2018 bid cities, reports the Gazette.

Darryl Seibel, spokesman for the USOC said, "there won't be a 2018 bid. Our sole focus is on 2016 and doing everything we can to support Chicago. We have given absolutely zero consideration to any other bids".

He added an Olympic bid "requires a long-term, sustained commitment and a demonstration of what your city and region has to offer. We've had zero discussions with Denver about the idea of an Olympic bid".

Segun este articulo aparecido en el portal GamesBids.com no habra ninguna candidatura de Estados Unidos a los JJOO de Invierno del año 2018. Con esto se pretenderia no interferir con las opciones de Chicago, ciudad candidata a los JJOO de Verano de 2016.

De ser cierta la noticia, las candidaturas de Denver y Reno-Tahoe para los JJOO de 2018 tendran que esperar para mas adelante y por tanto, la lista de candidatas para estos Juegos de Invierno se reduciria todavia mas.
