Rome Out Of Olympics Bidding
Budapest is now competing with only two rivals for the right to host the 2024 summer Olympic games, as the mayor of Rome has declined to support that city’s bid.

Virginia Raggi, who was elected in June, said it would be irresponsible for the city to bid to host the games.

The withdrawal leaves only Paris and Los Angeles in the running, along with Budapest.
