LAUSANNE, Switzerland — Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti and LA 2024 chairman Casey Wasserman smiled and high-fived as they sat down.
Following the bid’s presentation to the International Olympic Committee at the SwissTech Convention Center on Tuesday, it was an appropriate celebration. By all accounts, LA 2024’s 45-minute presentation went well, and bid officials fielded about eight questions in a 30-minute session after it.
“We had a lot of really positive comments in the question and answer portion,” said Angela Ruggiero, chief strategy officer for LA 2024 and an IOC member.
