AUSTIN -- It is the event, that for 29 days, seems to bring the world together. When political and religious differences are forgotten and the human spirit is celebrated. And in 2024, it could be held in Austin.
The United States Olympic Committee (USOC) is sending letters to 35 cities to gauge interest in hosting the games.
"Being able to have that here, in my home, that'd be awesome," said Austin resident Jeromy Lopez De Castilla.
Local business owner and community leader Paul Carrozza agreed.
"I think it's about time," Carrozza said. "Austin would be the greatest host in, I think, the history of the Olympics because you think about the town, people love to come here. I think we're the right size market now to host it, especially with the Austin-San Antonio corridor."
