DAEGU, South Korea (AP) — IOC President Jacques Rogge says he regrets that the United States did not bid for the 2020 Olympics and hopes they will seek the right to organize the games in the future.
The two sides have had a dispute over revenue-sharing from the games for years and the U.S. Olympic Committee announced earlier this month it would not bid for the 2020 Games.
Rogge says “we would have loved to have a bid for 2020 emanating from the United States. … we respect and understand the position of USOC and we hope that there will be good bids in the future.”
