The Paris 2024 Olympics have barely ended and it is time to look ahead to the next Summer Olympics in 2028. The latter have been awarded to Los Angeles in the United States, at the same time as those in Paris. As always, the future organizer will particularly scrutinize the organization of the Paris Olympics.
Advantage for Los Angeles, private funds flowing in from everywhere with more than a billion raised. The sum is already higher than that of Paris 2024 while we are 4 years away from the deadline. We have nothing to buildexplains Janet Evans for France Info. Everything is already there, we have incredible stadiums: the Rose Bowl, the Colliseum or the Elysean Park. The most difficult thing will be to choose the stadiums where the games will take place. competitions. But we know that we can count on Paris to give us their advice.” The competition will begin on July 14, 2028 and end on July 30.
Additional sports
The Los Angeles organizing committee has chosen to discard breaking to introduce five other disciplines, with an American accent. The first is flag football, a kind of non-contact American football. It is played five against five. As with flag rugby, players wear flags on their belts that must be torn off by the opposing team to stop attacks. Squash, a very popular sport in the US, will also be present, cricket is making a comeback. Finally, the game of lacrosse, or lacrosse, already present at the 1904 Games in St. Louis, in the United States, and 1908 in London, England is making a comeback. The principle is simple, you have to put a rubber ball in a goal by passing it using large sticks with nets. Finally, baseball and softball will also be making their comeback, already introduced at the 2021 Olympic Games in Tokyo. Baseball is exclusively for men, and softball is exclusively for women, with one difference in softball: the balls are larger and softer.
