MOSCOW, January 20 (Sputnik) — Only a half of the residents of the US city Boston support hosting the 2024 Olympics, with 33 percent opposing the idea of bringing the Olympic Games to the region, a survey by the Boston-based radio station 90.9 WBUR published Tuesday has shown.

Just 50 percent of respondents expressed excitement over Boston hosting the Olympic Games, while 41 percent said they were not thrilled about the prospect.

Three quarters of those interviewed said that the residents of Boston and other cities where the Olympic venues will be built should have a referendum on hosting the Olympics.
