"Boston 2024 has ex- pressed confidence that, with more time, they could generate the public support necessary to win the bid and deliver a great games," Blackmun said. "They also recognize, however, that we are out of time if the USOC is going to be able to consider a bid from an- other city." The Boston bid started souring within days of its beginning in January, be- set by poor communica- tion and an active opposi- tion group that kept pub- lic support low. At his news conference, Walsh said the opposition to the Olympics amounted to about "10 peo- ple on Twitter." He miscal- culated, and the Internet struck back. The hashtag #10peopleonTwitter started trending. The chairs of No Boston Olympics planned a cele- bration at a Boston pub. "We need to move for- ward as a city, and to- day's decision allows us to do that on our own terms, not the terms of the USOC or the IOC," they said in a statement. "We're better off for having passed on Bos- ton 2024." Boston 2024 chairman Steve Pagliuca said the move was made "in order to give the Olympic move- ment in the United States the best chance to bring the Games back to our country in 2024." The United States hasn't hosted a Summer Olympics since the Atlanta Games in 1996, or any Olympics since the Salt Lake City Winter Games in 2002. Bids for 2012 (New York) and 2016 (Chicago) both ended in fourth-place embarrass- ments. The USOC spent nearly two years on a mostly se- cret domestic selection pro- cess for 2024 that began with letters to almost three dozen cities gauging inter- est in hosting the games. The thought was that the long gap between Olym- pics, combined with the USOC's vastly improved relationship with interna- tional leaders, would make this America's race to lose. Instead, the federation ran into trouble before getting to the starting line. There's still time to save face if chairman Larry Probst and Blackmun make quick phone calls to leaders in Los Ange- les, including Mayor Eric Garcetti and agent/power broker Casey Wasserman. Garcetti released a state- ment saying he'd had no contact with the USOC, but was willing to talk. Los Angeles, a finalist in the domestic bid process along with San Francisco and Washington, has al- ready hosted the 1932 and 1984 Olympics. The '84 Games, with for- mer USOC chairman Peter Ueberroth helping call the shots, came in the wake of the 1980 Moscow boycott and a bidding process in which only one other city — Tehran — expressed se- rious interest. Los An- geles reinvigorated the struggling Olympic brand. Some of the venues, includ- ing the L.A. Coliseum, are already in place and could be spruced up for the 2024 Games. Still, when the USOC was going through its vetting process, some in the International Olym- pic Committee chafed at a possible return to a sprawl- ing, traffic-choked city that the Olympics had been to twice already. But as the Boston bid tanked, Los An- geles started looking bet- ter. Probst will get a first- hand feel for it all later this week when he attends an IOC meeting in Malaysia. Meanwhile, the Boston bid will never see where it stands against Rome, Paris, Hamburg, Ger- many, and, quite possibly, Toronto, which is consid- ering a bid. The bid's one and only public disclosure report, released in March, said they spent $2 million over the initial months of the bid. Boston's initial bid team talked a big game, but made empty promises. Re- cently released documents show organizers underesti- mated the amount of oppo- sition and downplayed the possibility of a statewide referendum on the games. Most of that bid team was replaced, though the new team, led by Pagliuca, didn't fare much better. Their new plan took a blowtorch to the popular idea of a compact, walkable Olympics, instead spread- ing venues around the metro area and the state. There was no firm plan for a media center, considered one of the biggest projects at any games. Even though complex insurance policies were in place, claims that the public wouldn't be on the hook for the multibil- lion-dollar sports event never gained traction. Walsh's news conference Monday reflected that. "I will not sign a docu- ment that puts one dollar of taxpayers' money on the line for one penny of over- runs on the Olympics," he said. Turns out, he won't have to. Boston FROMPAGE1 edly stressed they would put on "sustainable" and "economical" games, us- ing infrastructure from the 2008 Summer Games and promising to leave a "pow- erful legacy" by developing a winter sports market for China and east Asia. Critics point to China's lack of Alpine venues, and the distance from Beijing of suitable mountainous re- gions as having a negative impact on the bid. Beijing insists it has suf- ficient water supplies for snow-making and can pro- vide excellent conditions for ski competitions. Both countries have been assailed for their hu- man rights records. Hu- man Rights Watch issued a report criticizing Kazakh- stan's "hostility and abuse" toward lesbian, gay, bisex- ual and transgender peo- ple. China has been in- volved in a recent crack- down on rights lawyers. Beijing bid spokes- woman Wang Hui de- fended the Chinese bid on Monday, telling a news conference that having deep snow does not guar- antee a successful Winter Olympics. "In addition to snow, you also must have the capacity to receive games clients, to organize games, to provide all the necessary facilities for tourists, have a strong security arrangement and other areas," she said. "In the unlikely event of ex- treme weather condition, we have the capacity to rely entirely on artificial snow- making facilities and com- ply with all snow require- ments." Beijing's bid team indi- cates that one machine is able to produce 20 tons of snow per hour, she said. Snow making will only take 2-3 percent of current water supply in Zhangji- akou and the ski resort stores water in summer months, she added. Wang said European ex- perts who visited Zhanji- akou found it to be suitable for winter sports, with the dry climate allowing snow to retain its shape, and having a three-zone clus- ter of facilities was feasi- ble for the games. "There is no need for concern," she said, adding that the distance between venues was not a negative factor either. "If you look at the history of previous Winter Olympics, 50 min- utes from an ice sports venue to a snow sports venue is not the longest. "China is a big country with a huge population and an increasing number of young people having a strong desire in sports, so the three-zone concept is much more aligned in the long term with the sus- tainable use of the venues," Wang said. "For China, the end of the games is the be- ginning of many years of sustainable and healthy use of the venue legacy." Beijing FROM PAGE 1 tile defense, where players routinely switch positions. The 6-foot-7 forward, who was an All-Star in 2010 with Charlotte, played sparingly for the Celtics last season. Wal- lace averaged 1.1 points and 8.9 minutes in 32 games — both were ca- reer lows, as were his to- tals for the season of 11 as- sists, 57 rebounds and 286 minutes. It's unclear if there's a role on the Warriors for Babb. He has played mostly for the Maine Red Claws of the NBA Develop- ment League the past two seasons. Also on Monday, the Celtics announced that they have re-signed for- ward Jae Crowder, who av- eraged 9.5 points and 4.6 rebounds in 57 games af- ter Boston acquired him from Dallas in December in the deal that sent Rajon Rondo to the Mavericks. Lee FROM PAGE 1 By John Hickey BayAreaNewsGroup OAKLAND The A's have picked up three very young players in exchange for two veterans in the last four days. In explaining his ratio- nale for getting 20-year- old right-handed start- ing pitcher Casey Meisner from the New York Mets in exchange for closer Ty- ler Clippard, Oakland gen- eral manager Billy Beane dropped a hint that some part of making the deal rested on the his optimism a new baseball stadium could be in the A's future. "We're focusing on some guys who are a little fur- ther away from the big leagues," Beane said. In trading Scott Kazmir to Houston on Thursday, Beane got a 20-year-old catcher, Jacob Notting- ham, and a 22-year-old pitcher, Daniel Mengden. All three of the newcom- ers are playing this year at Class-A, so they are per- haps three or four years away, should they pan out. It's a tectonic strate- gic shift for the A's who in previous selloffs under Beane have gone for play- ers who were, or were al- most, thought to be Major League-ready. "That's not necessar- ily how we've approached things in the recent past," Beane acknowledged, hint- ing at a new venue to re- place the half-century old Coliseum. "It seems the en- vironment maybe is right. It's not my department." MLB A's trade Clippard to Mets MARKJ.TERRILL—ASSOCIATEDPRESSFILE Oakland A's relief pitcher Tyler Clippard was acquired by the New York Mets in a trade by the A's — their second trade in four days.
