Boston's bid to host the 2024 Summer Olympics has come to an end after the city Mayor agreed with United States Olympic Committee (USOC) to end the bid due to lack of public support.
The bid had faced opposition after many people had concern over the local funds being used to pay for cost overruns, the BBC reported.
After this decision, another US city will have the opportunity to bid for the Games.
USOC chief Scott Blackmun, in a statement, said the USOC does not think that the level of support enjoyed by Boston's bid would allow it to prevail over great bids from Paris, Rome, Hamburg, Budapest or Toronto.
One of the main concerns of the local opposition groups was that the cost of the Games would have risen far higher than the estimated USD 4.6 billion.
