NEW YORK – The US Olympic Committee chose Boston: she will be the cities in the race to host the Olympic Games of 2024. A competitor worthy threat and a headache more for the organizing committee Italian pointing on Rome, for a reissue of the historic 1960 Olympic Games.
Let’s start from the city: Boston suffered a terrorist attack their during the great marathon of 2013 and has paid in blood for hosting a sporting event. But the city has raised. Redid the marathon. And in these days has started the process to punish the guilty, attack, Dzhokhar Tsarnaev, 21, survived the brother accomplice. But Boston is also the birthplace of American democracy and is perhaps the most important university center in the world with Harvard, MIT and Boston College. If we add Camelot, the saga of President Kennedy and the murdered, the picture is complete.
The fearsome competitor is also because when it comes down America in the field the race is always difficult. In this case then the benefits for the US accumulate: the last Olympics here were those of Atlanta, back in 1996 (and America gen erally has a rotation period higher in other countries thanks to the deep pockets of the organizers and TV networks). But there was also in 2009 the humiliation of President Obama, when he personally went to Denmark to support Chicago’s bid for the 2016 Olympics and was rejected, forced to ritornarsene in America on his Air Force One with a defeat in his pocket, he himself had just been elected as head of the most powerful nation in the world. So there is also a small debt.
“Michelle and I are happy – has suffered Obama said last night after the choice, made in Denver by the American Olympic Committee – the city has proven to have strength and courage after the attack and is the best place to host in 2024 athletes from around the world. “
How can we meet the Italians to remain in contention with our capital? Missing years to the decision. There will be time to distract from the very recent past of corruption compared with the heroism Bostonian. Certainly, the Italian strategy at this point has to change, become more soft and medium term because react now, in the days when the world is in mourning for a terrorist attack in a city like Paris would be unwise emotionally. Changes everything because even America had left to believe that the candidate would Los Angeles, which has already hosted two games. The card Boston shuffle game then with Rome that will be forced to play counter-attack instead of the attack. The best immediate step? A telegram heartiest congratulations and best wishes, even solidarity. Then the race. And in a few years, may the best win.
