PARIS (Reuters) - Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo on Monday welcomed Los Angeles' decision to offer to host the 2028 Olympic Games but stopped short of saying the 2024 Olympics were in the bag for Paris, saying instead that talks would continue throughout August.
An official, speaking on condition of anonymity on behalf of the mayor's office, said Hidalgo's caution was meant to show respect for the official procedure, with several more steps to go through before any deal is approved at the International Olympic Committee's decisive meeting in Lima.
