BUDAPEST (Reuters) - Budapest could decide as soon as next week whether to withdraw its bid to hold the 2024 Olympic Games, the Hungarian capital's mayor said on Friday, in another blow to organisers' attempts to find a host city.
Hamburg, Rome and Boston have already abandoned their bids to host the Games, an event, whose costs have risen sharply over the past 20 years. If Budapest pulls out, that would leave only Paris and Los Angeles still in the race.
