Reuters ^ | 07/31/2016

Los Angeles will host the 2028 Summer Olympics after reaching a deal with Olympic organizers, the Los Angeles Times reported on Monday, citing an unnamed source close to the negotiation.

The agreement also paves the way for the 2024 Summer Games to be awarded to Paris. An announcement from the International Olympic Committee was expected later on Monday.

Reuters could not immediately confirm the report.

Los Angeles Mayor Eric Garcetti's office said he and other proponents of the city's bid for the 2024 Olympic and Paralympic Games would make an announcement to the news media at 5 p.m. PDT (0000 GMT).

LA is probably the best place for the Games. The facilities are already built for the most part. And the Memorial Coliseum is still one of the best stadiums on the planet.

Paris on the other hand, is going to have a lot of problems with trying to clean up the city from “refugees” for the Games.

which is why I’m surprised 2024 went to Paris and 2028 to LA- not vice versa

The Olympics are pretty 19th Century.

Still, I’m glad LA got it as almost every Olympics is a financial disaster for the host city.

Couldn’t happen to a better place.

Probably just take that long to figure what taxes to raise and what new ones to implement.

>>What could go wrong?<<

Ueberroth is only 80 this year and will only be 91 in 2028. If he is like my FIL, he should be able to do again what he did last time.

I think this time he might sell advertising space on the event names (the Pepto Bismol Biathlon) and athletes themselves (like soccer or NSACAR).

Will the official language of the 2028 Summer Olympics be Spanish or Chinese?

After the plates shifted, there was San Angeles and after the Restaurant Wars, there remained Taco Bell.
