The United States Olympic Committee (USOC) announced today, its selection of Boston as the country’s Applicant City in the bid to host the 2024 Olympic Summer Games. The Reno Tahoe Winter Games Coalition (RTWGC) congratulates the Boston bid committee and fully supports the USOC's selection of this historic city. We also congratulate the tremendous efforts of the bid committees in Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington D.C. Just like Boston, these three cities would have been an exceptional candidate to host the 2024 Games. Any time the U.S. has an opportunity to host the Olympics is good for our nation's athletes and the Olympic Movement, as a whole.

"Boston’s heritage is woven into the very origins of our country and it is also a legendary sports town", said Jon Killoran, RTWGC Chief Executive Officer. "We wish them the best of success in the bid process."

At the same time, the RTWGC remains fully committed to preparing the next successful U.S. bid for a future Olympic Winter Games. In the meantime, the RTWGC is working to bring elite sports competitions and events to our region and state. During 2014, we hosted the World Financial Group Continental Cup of Curling in Las Vegas, smashing the event's attendance record. We also became the first-ever North American host of the World Curling Congress, bringing over 130 delegates from all over the globe to Reno-Tahoe. Collectively, these two events brought million's in economic impact to Nevada. The RTWGC is not resting on those laurels. We're looking forward to making some big announcements early in 2015 continuing this journey to showcase Reno-Tahoe and Nevada as world-class destinations for elite sports competitions and events.
