ROME -- Rome Mayor Virginia Raggi, who has long opposed the citys bid for the 2024 Olympics as unsustainable, will formally announce her decision on the candidacy Wednesday.The mayor has scheduled a news conference on the bid at City Hall atop ancient Capitoline Hill.Raggi has expressed her opposition for the bid since her candidacy earlier this year but hasnt made any announcement on the issue since being elected in June.It could mark Romes second withdrawal in four years after then-premier Mario Monti stopped the citys plans to bid for the 2020 Games in 2012 because of financial conditions.If Rome withdraws, only Los Angeles, Paris and Budapest, Hungary, would remain in the running for the 2024 Summer Games.The IOC will decide the host in September, 2017.

SPARTANBURG, S.C. -- Pro Bowl defensive tackle Kawann Short said he wont hold out while awaiting a new contract from the Carolina Panthers.Short reported to training camp on time Wednesday, the same day the Panthers announced they gave safety Kurt Coleman a three-year extension that runs through the 2019 season. Financial terms were not released.Short said hell play this season under his current deal if he doesnt receive a contract extension. The defending NFC champions begin practice Thursday night at Wofford College.Its not about the contract, its about helping this team, Short said. I love the Carolina Panthers. Hopefully things will get done.Short, entering the fourth and final year of his rookie contract, is set to cost $1.47 million under this years salary cap.He significantly outperformed that deal last season when he finished with 11 sacks and three forced fumbles and became the first defensive tackle to win NFC Defensive Player of the Month twice in a season. Short is expected to command a huge deal comparable to the five-year, $86 million contract the New York Jets gave to Muhammad Wilkerson and the six-year, $103 million deal the Philadelphia Eagles handed Fletcher Cox.Both deals averaged more than $17 million per season.Panthers general manager Dave Gettleman is hopeful a long-term deal can be worked out with Short.We are in conversations (with his agent) and as long as you are in conversation something good can happen, so well see, Gettleman said. Contracts will get done when they are supposed to.Short said hes happy to see interior defensive linemen collecting big money.Its like the point guard and center thing, Short said. You want to play point guard sometimes (when you are) a center. But big guys need love, too. To see big guys get rewarded like that is a blessing.But he said his focus right now is on football, not finances.While thhe Panthers are continuing to negotiate with Short, he wouldnt say if the two sides are close to reaching a deal.dddddddddddd.Its going to take time, but Im patient, Short said.When asked if he thinks a deal will get done by the end of training camp, Short replied: I dont know. Its hard to tell. If so, I will be happy for it. Last year was a great year for me, but I need to do even better this year.Coleman was rewarded Wednesday for his outstanding season.He led the Panthers and finished tied for third in the NFL with career-high seven interceptions in his first season in Carolina. He contributed to a team that ranked sixth in the NFL in total defense and led the NFL in interceptions (24), takeaways (39) and points off turnovers (148).Said Gettleman: Kurt is a pros pro and hes a great fit for us. He had a career year last year and does everything we ask. And he adds a veteran presence in the DB (defensive back) room.The 28-year-old Coleman finished third on the team with 103 tackles.When you go through situations you want whats best for your family and whats best for the team, and Im really excited, Coleman said. Im fortunate to be a part of this team for three more years.Wide receiver Kelvin Benjamin and linebacker Luke Kuechly are all go for training camp as expected, according to coach Ron Rivera. Cornerback Bene Benwikere has been placed on the PUP list but can be activated at any time.Overall, Rivera said he feels good about his team, although he knows the heat is on -- and hes not just talking about the 100 degree temperatures in Spartanburg.My feeling is we are the hunted, Rivera said. We are where a lot of people want to be.---Online: AP NFL website: www.pro32.ap.org and AP NFL Twitter feed: www.twitter.com/AP-NFL ' ' '
