ABOUT Olympics
The Olympic Games or Olympics are considered the world’s foremost sports competition gathering sovereign states and territories to compete in various sporting events every four years.
The modern Olympics were inspired by the ancient Olympic Games held in Olympia, Greece from the 8th century BC to the 4th century AD. Baron Pierre de Coubertin founded the International Olympic Committee (IOC) in 1894, leading to the first modern Games in Athens in 1896. The International Olympic Committee (IOC) is the governing body of the Olympic Movement.
The evolution of the Olympic Movement during the 20th and 21st centuries has resulted in numerous changes to the Games, including the creation of the Winter Olympic Games for snow and ice sports, the Paralympic Olympic Games for athletes with disabilities, the Youth Olympic Games for athletes aged 14 to 18, the five Continental Games (Pan American, European, African, Asian, and Pacific), and the World Games for sports that aren’t contested in the Olympics themselves.
The Olympics have become such a huge global event, so much so it has fostered international cooperation, competition, and cultural exchange. It has also generated significant economic benefits and challenges to its host cities, affecting infrastructure, local communities, and tourism.
List of Olympic Games host cities
The Summer and Winter Games are usually held over a four-year period known as an Olympiad. From the inaugural Winter Games in 1924 until 1992, winter and summer Games were held in the same year.
In 2022, Beijing became the first city to have hosted both the Summer and Winter Olympics. By 2034, 11 cities will have hosted the Olympics more than once.
IOC members pick the Olympic Games host cities six to seven years in advance.

The 2028 Summer Olympics, commonly known as LA2028, is an upcoming international multi-sport event that will be held in the United States, with Los Angeles as the host city, from July 14 to 30, 2028.
Los Angeles and Paris were concurrently awarded the rights to host the 2024 and 2028 Olympics following multiple withdrawals from other candidate cities. Los Angeles had originally bid for 2024, but Paris preferred the 2024 Games, and both sides agreed for the latter to host 2024 and the former to host 2028.
Los Angeles is the third three-time host city to host the Olympics after London (1908, 1948, 2012) and Paris (1900, 1924, 2024), and they are the first non-European city to achieve such a feat.
Several venues include the Crypto.com Arena, Intuit Dome, BMO Stadium, SoFi Stadium, Riviera Country Club, and the historic Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum.
Notable sports inclusions and exclusions in the 2028 Olympics
Baseball/softball, cricket, flag football, and lacrosse were approved by the IOC last year after the Los Angeles 2028 Organizing Committee proposed adding them to the program.
Meanwhile, boxing, modern pentathlon, and weightlifting were provisionally dropped from the quadrennial meet pending a resolution of governance issues.
