Paris, 12 August 2024 (TDI): After a historic move during the closing ceremony in Paris, Los Angeles is now officially on the clock for the 2028 Olympics.
The Olympic flag, which represents the shift and LA’s vigilance to host the Games for an unprecedented third time, was accepted by Mayor Karen Bass in person.
A prerecorded video message with Tom Cruise set the tone for excitement for what was to come as he traveled through the city by motorcycle, plane, and parachute in a spectacle worthy of the city’s film history.
In addition to its legendary Olympic past from 1932 and 1984, this historic occasion emphasizes Los Angeles’s exceptional status as a three-time host.
Blending historic cultural moments with outstanding athletic feats, the previous Games left a lasting impression on the city and the entire world.
The 1984 Summer Olympics proved to be a financial and cultural success, presenting the city as a major hub for entertainment worldwide and giving renowned athletes a chance to compete.

With an eye toward Olympics 2028, the city intends to combine contemporary innovation with traditional splendor.
A “no-build” approach will be used for new facilities, with an emphasis on sustainability and economy. The Games will take place at both newly built Intuit Dome and the SoFi Stadium, two existing venues.
This strategy demonstrates LA’s devotion to environmental sustainability as well as its adherence to sound economic principle.
Significant expenditures have been made in public transportation with the goal of lowering the Olympic carbon footprint and improving accessibility for both locals and tourists.
A better connected city prepared to host the biggest sporting event in history is promised by the proposed upgrades, which include the extension of the metro lines and the installation of the Inglewood People Mover.
