VATICAN CITY -- IOC President Thomas Bach isnt getting involved in the politics surrounding Romes rejection of its 2024 Olympics bid.Speaking on the sidelines of a Vatican convention on faith and sports Wednesday, Bach said he had been informed of the Rome situation by Italian Olympic Committee president Giovanni Malago.This is not up to me. I got this information about politics in Italy and Im here to listen, Bach said. You can imagine that this was a very interesting conversation, because politics in Italy is a very interesting topic. So I learned a lot yesterday.Romes city council voted last week to withdraw the bid, backing the decision of Mayor Virginia Raggi. However, the bid is still supported by Italian Premier Matteo Renzi amid discussion it could be revived if Raggis administration falls.Raggi, who represents the anti-establishment 5-Star Movement, said that taking on the costs of an Olympic bid is irresponsible for a city struggling to emerge from years of corruption and poor public services.Raggi also attended the Vatican conference but did not cross paths with Bach.I dont know her, Bach said.Romes rejection leaves only Los Angeles, Paris, and Budapest, Hungary, in the running for the 2024 Games. The International Olympic Committee will decide on the host city in September 2017.Bach would not even weigh in on whether Romes bid can move forward without the citys support.I will not, he said. This is a political discussion here in Italy and the IOC is politically neutral, so we will not interfere in internal Italian politics.However, Bach did seem to acknowledge that the IOCs new Agenda 2020, which is designed to make the games less costly and more flexible, had not been fully taken into consideration by the city.Quite frankly I do not think that this discussion has a lot to do with the Olympic Games, Bach said. Thats the impression I get, that this is about internal Italian politics.International Paralympics Committee Philip Craven spoke as if the bid was dead.Its very disappointing, Craven told The Associated Press. I feel its a great loss to the race.Malago said he will hold a news conference on the bids status next week.---Andrew Dampf on Twitter: www.twitter.com/asdampf Cheap Adidas NHL Jerseys .

CHICAGO -- Winger James Lowe and backrower Akira Ioane both scored two tries as the New Zealand Maori rugby team beat the United States 54-7 on Saturday to claim their 70th win over a full international team.Lowe scored twice in the first half and Ioane touched down once in each half as the Maori won by eight tries to one to extend their record against the USA to four wins from four games.Both captains scored: Ash Dixon for the New Zealand Maori shortly before halftime and Todd Clever for the United States whose only try came at the start of the second half.Maori prop Kane Hames had a try disallowed in the first half but scored another in the second while replacement scrumhalf Brad Weber touched down before ending the game in the sin bin.Substitute hooker Joe Royal added the last try near fulltime and Damian McKenzie, one of four touring All Blacks leant to the Maori team for the match, converted from the sideline. McKenzie took over the goalkicking duties from flyhalf Ihaia West who kept a perfect record with six conversions from as many attempts.Will Holder converted the United States try.The USA began strongly and occasionally troubled the Maori team in the first 10 minutes with rolling drives. But when Lowe scored the opening try in the 10th minute the tide turned and the Maori team was dominant for most of the rest of the match.The New Zealanders were able to dominate the middle of the field with powerful ball carriers, and when the defense had been drawn in, to unleash their pace on the flanks.ddddddddddddheir defensive line speed was also too much for the United States whose players were regularly cut down behind the gain line, placing them under continuous pressure.Flyhalf Holders clearances were wayward and the United States found itself trapped inside its own half for long periods.The Maori quickly punished the USA for missed tackles, notably when Ioane scored his first try in the 19th minute.Lowe had his second in the 33rd minute when West chipped behind the defense for center Matt Proctor to regather and to put his winger untouched under the posts.Dixons try from a rolling maul gave the Maori team a 28-0 lead at halftime.Ioane brushed off tackles to score his second in the 44th minute before the United States hit back with Clevers try from a lineout drive five minutes later. Dixon and Ioane scored while US hooker James Hilterbrand was in the sin bin for a professional foul.Hames made amends for having his first half try ruled out for a double movement when he scored in the 51st minute. Weber scored the seventh try in the 63rd minute.The Maori lost some of their continuity in the last quarter but Royal pushed them through the 50 point mark just before the end. ' ' '
