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!

IOC changes rules, votes to award two games at once...
The IOC voted unanimously to award both Paris and Los Angeles the 2024 and 2028 summer Olympic Games. Each candidate City made a 45 minute presentation to 83 of 95 IOC members at a special session in Lausanne, Switzerland. The IOC will not determine the order of the cities that host. There will be a special agreement that both candidate cities will work out together in determining which city will go first. If the two chosen cities to host the next two summer games don't come to an agreement, then the IOC will then vote on either Los Angeles or Paris at the IOC session in Lima, Peru on Sept. 13. If the two cities come to an agreement the order will be announced on that same day.

Several new Olympic events will take place at the 2020 Tokyo Games/ 2024 and 2028 Olympic Games awarded together
Several new events have been approved by the IOC to take place in Tokyo. Three on Three Basketball, BMX Freestyle Cycling and Track Cycling are new events. New swimming events include the 4 by 100 mixed medley relay, men's 800 freestyle and women's 1500 freestyle. Track and Field has added a mixed 4 by 400 relay. This is in addition to sports already approved by the IOC for the Tokyo games which include Sports Climbing, Skateboarding, Surfing, Karate and Baseball/Softball.
The IOC also cut certain events/places from the Rio games to make sure the athletes are capped at 10,616 through 28 core sports, Track and Field will lose 105 places, Weightlifting will lose 64 places, Wrestling will lose 56 places, Shooting and Sailing will lose 30 places each, followed by Swimming, which will lose 22 places. In total, 285 athlete places will be cut.
The IOC has now officially proposed to award the 2024 and 2028 summer games at once. Los Angeles and Paris will be awarded games, in which order is still to be determined. Paris is the favorite to land the 2024 games while Los Angeles, showing more flexibility could be awarded the 2028 games. A vote by the full IOC membership on this proposal will be held on July 11-12 in Lausanne, Switzerland. The hosting order will be determined at the IOC's annual meeting in Lima, Peru on Sept. 13.
