Boston won a tight contest to become the next American city to bid for hosting an Olympics, beating out Los Angeles, San Francisco and Washington, D.C., for the right to vie for the 2024 Summer Olympic and Paralympic Games.
The U.S. Olympic Committee made its final pick today, ending months of suspense in four U.S. cities that were named finalists last June. The USOC announced the decision after meeting at the Denver International Airport this afternoon.
