Florida’s chief financial officer on Monday offered to host the Olympic Games in the state amid speculations that the current hosts Japan may back out.
Jimmy Patronis sent a letter to IOC head Thomas Bach in a bid “to encourage him to consider relocating the 2021 Olympics from Tokyo, Japan to the United States of America, and more specifically to Florida.”
He said With media reports of leaders in Japan ‘privately’ concluding that they are too concerned about the pandemic for the 2021 Olympics to take place, there is still time to deploy a site selection team to Florida.
