The bid will be reviewed by French Olympic and Paralympic officials in September, and submitted later that month to the IOC's Future Host Commission for the Olympic Winter Games, the news release stated., with a preference for the later date to avoid competing for domestic sponsorships with the 2028 Summer Games in another U.S. city, Los Angeles.
