Countdown to LA28: Oklahoma City Joins Olympic Celebrations

Organizers of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics, in partnership with Oklahoma City officials, celebrated the significant milestone of 1,000 days to the opening ceremony. Preparations are underway for hosting softball and canoe slalom events in Oklahoma City, showcasing the Games' nationwide reach.

LA28 Chair Casey Wasserman, alongside CEO Reynold Hoover and Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt, emphasized the collaborative spirit of utilizing existing venues beyond Los Angeles to contain costs. Highlighting the regional partnership, the announcements were paired with an 'LA28 Day of Sport' event featuring clinics led by Olympians and Paralympians.

Oklahoma City's role signifies a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to expand the Olympic experience across the U.S. The effort underscores a broad vision for the Games, which Los Angeles will host for the third time, including its inaugural Paralympics.
