San Fransico withdraws 2016 bid |
 | | Mayor Newsom's belief in the life-changing values of Olympic sport, along with his vision for the future of San Francisco, were the hallmarks of the San Francisco 2016 bid. |
 | | Throughout every phase of the evaluation process, the San Francisco 2016 Bid Committee, under the direction of Scott Givens, conducted itself with professionalism and honor, according to the statement. |
 | | "Their commitment to the Olympic Movement is admirable, and while they will no longer be a part of the 2016 evaluation process, the USOC will find ways to continue working with this group to bring Olympic and Paralympic sport to San Francisco," the statement noted. |
