- Story Text: Budapest's City Council withdrew its bid to host the 2024 Olympic Games on Wednesday (March 1), citing a lack of unity after a new political movement collected more than a quarter of a million signatures to force a referendum on the issue.
Bidding alongside Los Angeles and Paris, Budapest had been considered a long-shot candidate, pinning its hopes on the International Olympic Committee's (IOC) Agenda 2020 initiative. - Copyright Holder: FILE REUTERS (CAN SELL)
