Though local officials say that it’s “too early to say what is next” regarding the possibility of reviving D.C.’s bid to host the 2024 Summer Olympics after Boston pulled its bid, time is of the essence: the deadline for the National Olympic Committees to submit an official bid for their chosen cities is September 15.

Yesterday, Boston and the U.S. Olympic Committee officially ended their partnership for the NOC bid to host the 2024 Summer Olympic and Paralympic games in bean town after a lack of public support and a myriad concerns from local leaders. With just over a month left until the USOC is to submit their official bid, the question on everyone’s mind is “who’s it going to be now?”

In addition to Boston and D.C., both L.A. and San Francisco were among the final four cities in consideration by the USOC. But there’s a lot of speculation that the new bid would go to L.A., since they’ve previously hosted the Olympic games in 1932 and 1984.

But could the same problem that squashed Boston’s bid selection also doom D.C.? Back when D.C. was in the running, the DC2024 exploratory committee—chaired by Russ Ramsey and Ted Leonsis—was met with mixed emotions. Never mind the countless op-eds and think-pieces boasting why it’s such a terrible idea, the public support for it was less than enthusiastic as well. Bearing all that in mind—along with what killed Boston’s bid—it’s probably a long shot that D.C. will win the new bid, especially given how little time there is for a decision to be made.

Still, it’s too early to rule anything out, but if D.C. officials are serious about hosting 2024 again, they had better get to work fast.
