The city of Boston and the US Olympic Committee (USOC) have agreed to end a bid for the 2024 Olympics because of a lack of public support.

The bid had faced opposition, with many people concerned that local funds would be used to pay for cost overruns.

The decision means that another US city will have the opportunity to bid for the Games.

The US has until 15 September to submit a bid to the International Olympic Committee (IOC).

Analysts say Los Angeles is now likely to be the frontrunner to be selected as the US candidate.
