Speaking on a conference call with reporters, Gene Sykes, who chairs the USOPC’s board, said he is hopeful Salt Lake organizers will enter into exclusive negotiations with the International Olympic Committee sometime in the final quarter of this year.
Such negotiations, known as “targeted dialogue,” signal that a city is a clear favorite and all but certain to be chosen by the IOC as Olympic host.
“They are making progress, and the direction that we’re getting from the IOC and the future host commission are very encouraging,” Sykes said. “So what we’re trying to make sure we share with you is our sense of enthusiasm and confidence that Salt Lake City is on the right track.” During IOC executive board meetings last week, Executive Director Christophe Dubi said none of the bids was ready to enter into targeted dialogue.
