The Olympics should be in Los Angeles in 2024.
That’s the message Mayor Eric Garcetti will bring to Washington, D.C. Tuesday as he attends a meeting of Olympic and sports officials from more than 200 nations as part of the committee trying to bring the 2024 Olympics to the Southland.
Garcetti will join the LA2024 Bid Committee at the Association of National Olympic Committees General Assembly, a gathering of Olympic officials from around the world. He will be in Washington, D.C., until Friday to attend the meeting.
International Olympic Committee President Thomas Bach and other IOC members will attend the event, which is taking place in the United States for the first time in more than 20 years.
This will be the second out-of-town trip Garcetti has taken to support Los Angeles’ bid to host the Olympics since Los Angeles replaced Boston as the U.S. candidate in September. Garcetti visited the IOC headquarters in Switzerland in September.
