By Steve Keating BEVERLY HILLS, Calif., March 9 (Reuters) - The Los Angeles 2024 Olympic bid provided the backdrop for a USOC media summit but problem-plagued Rio de Janerio offered a reminder that landing an Olympics does not always follow a Hollywood script. With the three-day summit at a posh hotel in Beverly Hills wrapping up on Wednesday, athletes who hope to compete for gold at the Rio Olympics received the star treatment and shared the spotlight with a Los Angeles bid locked in a race with European glamour cities Paris, Rome and Budapest for the 2024 Summer Games. "It is complicated, it is an amazing amount of work but everyone is in good spirits," Rio 2016 spokesman Mario Andrada told reporters.
