PARIS (Reuters) - Should Paris be selected to host the 2024 Olympics, France is well equipped to stage a safe Games because of the security measures that are in place after the recent terror attacks, president Francois Hollande said on Sunday.
Los Angeles and Budapest are the only other candidates left in the running to host the 2024 Games after Virginia Raggi pulled the plug on Rome's bid last month, shortly after being elected mayor of the Italian capital. Boston and Hamburg had already abandoned their bids.
