The United States will bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics as long as they find a candidate city that meets necessary conditions, according to the chair of the United States Olympic Committee, Larry Probst.
The USOC has a long list of criteria that a candidate city must meet but with several cities expressing strong interest in a bid and encouragement from the International Olympic Committee it seems almost certain the United States will try to land its first Summer Games since 1996.
The United States though is likely to face stiff competition from several cities including potential bidders Rome, Paris, Doha, Dubai and Durban, South Africa.
The decision on the 2024 host will not be made until 2017.
