LOS ANGELES—Los Angeles is the official U.S. nominee for the 2024 Olympic games — a dramatic turnaround for a city that just two months ago was considered out of the running.
But with a late surge of life brought on by Boston’s dropout from the process, the city found itself on Tuesday as the U.S. candidate, and its leaders were left feeling inspired and destined.
“This is a quest that Los Angeles was made for,” said Mayor Eric Garcetti. “This city is the world’s greatest stage.”
