Excited for the 2028 Olympics? Get the scoop on how LA is gearing up to shine after Paris!

As the lights dimmed in Paris during the Closing Ceremonies of the 2024 Summer Olympics, the Olympic flag was ceremoniously passed from Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo to Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass. With this moment came not just a symbolic transfer of power but also the weight of expectations. LA is set to host the Summer Olympics for the first time since 1984, and the next chapter in Olympic history is about to unfold in the City of Angels. So what can expect as we gear up for this monumental event in 2028?

Everyone is buzzing about the inclusion of new sports like breaking, flag football, and maybe even underwater basket weaving—okay, we might have made that last one up! While Paris dazzled with its mix of traditional sports and fresh flair, LA is preparing to take the stage with a twist. The Los Angeles Olympic Committee aims to focus on modern sports that resonate with today’s youth, while still showcasing the impressive athleticism we’ve come to adore. In fact, the inclusion of breaking has caused quite a stir, bringing the dance floor to the sports arena.

But the excitement doesn’t end with the competition; ticket sales are another hot topic. Although the Olympics are still four years away, fans are eager to nail down their spots in the stands. The window for purchasing tickets is expected to open sooner than one might think, so you better start practicing your fastest clicking finger! Keep your eyes peeled, because this will be an event worth attending.

As LA gears up for its moment in the Olympic spotlight, it’s crucial to pay attention to the venue shifts. With 22 locations—from the historic LA Memorial Coliseum to the stunning SoFi Stadium—Los Angeles is flexing its versatile muscles. This array of venues not only highlights the city’s sprawling unique charm but also promises to deliver an unforgettable spectator experience once the Olympic flame touches down.

Interestingly, LA has a rich Olympic history, hosting its first Summer Games in 1932 and again in 1984, both events known for their incredible levels of organization and impressive displays. Did you know that the 1984 LA Olympics led to a profit, unlike most Olympic Games? A remarkable feat, especially in today’s economy! As we fast forward to 2028, there are boundless expectations for the games to contribute positively to the city’s image and economy. So buckle your seatbelts, because LA is about to bring the heat in style!
