2028 LA Olympics

The 2028 Los Angeles Olympics will debut flag football as a competitive sport, alongside returning events like baseball, softball, lacrosse, and cricket after long absences. The games aim for a 'no-car' environment, promoting public transportation to mitigate traffic congestion, with a plan to utilize around 3,000 buses during the 17-day event. As the Paris 2024 Olympics conclude, attention shifts to potential athletes for LA 2028, including rising stars from Texas like Sha’Carri Richardson and Hezly Rivera, who recently made their mark in Paris. The LA Olympics will be the city's third time hosting, building on the financial and infrastructural model established during the successful 1984 Games. The IOC's strategic management and commercialization introduced during the 1984 Olympics significantly transformed the financial landscape of the Games. These developments underscore a blend of innovation, tradition, and athlete representation in the upcoming Olympic Games.
