LA 2028, Paris 2024

Today is the day that an agreement was reached between the IOC and Paris and LA to give the 2028 Olympics to Los Angeles and thus handing Paris the 2024 Olympic Games. LA's organizing committee had a Facebook live presentation a few hours ago breaking the news to LA 2024 supporters on Facebook. The IOC will give 180 million dollars to the LA organizing committee for expenses for an additional four years. Also the IOC will fund youth sports in the LA area starting next year. The LA 2028 Organizing Commitee says that the deal with the IOC was too good to pass up. Also certain infrastructure projects will be completed by then and that includes LAX terminal additions and more rail lines connecting to UCLA. Even though it's 11 years from now and I'll be 62 when the LA games come, congratulations to LA 2028! The LA city council will vet the plan and it still needs approval by the LA city council, USOC and IOC. On September 13, in Lima it becomes official!
