Logo and Locations

The 2028 Los Angeles Olympics will be defined by emblems. LA28.org writes that their will be more than 42 emblems that are designed by Los Angeles natives and will feature "breadth of themes and stories from Southern California's beauty to diversity."

"The LA28 story is portrayed by a collection of voices because no single emblem could express all that Los Angeles and the Games represent. The LA28 emblems showcase a breadth of themes -- with A's designed by individual athletes and creators to A's designed by our Commercial Partners."

Los Angeles will not need a major industrial effort to have suitable venues. The various collegiate and professional athletic infrastructure that already exists in the city will help house the events. Some surrounding cities and towns will also play a role, including:

• Carson City, which will host track cycling, field hockey, rugby sevens and tennis
• Long Beach, which will host rowing, canoe sprint, handball, marathon swimming, triathlon, sailing, artistic swimming, and water polo

The Los Angeles Convention Center will host fencing, judo, table tennis, taekwondo and wrestling, while the golf events will be played at Riviera Country Club.

This will be the fifth Summer Olympics to be hosted in the United States. It will also be the first since 1996, when Atlanta hosted the event.

Los Angeles is not a first-time host. The city hosted the event in 1932 and 1984, and will join Paris and London as the only cities to host the Summer Olympics three times.

Several new or returning sports will be on display. This includes:

• Baseball
• Softball
• Cricket
• Flag Football
• Squash
• Lacrosse

All of these sports were missing in 2024 and will either return of debut in Los Angeles. Some of these may become staples of future Games while others may end up being exclusive to LA28.

Athletes to Watch

Some athletes will burst onto the scene for the first time in 2028, but many familiar faces could return as well.

Simone Biles became the oldest U.S. gymnast in 72 years to qualify for the Olympic team in 2024. Despite this, she cruised to three gold medals and one silver medal and was the main story on the mats.

While the thought of her qualifying at 31-years-old sounds daunting, it is something that crossed her mind during the Paris Olympics.

"Never say never. The home games is … the next Olympics is at home, so you just never know," Biles said in a press conference on Sunday. "But, I am getting really old," she said modestly with a laugh. If she were to compete in 2028, she would be 31 years old.

Katie Ledecky is another Olympic veteran who could return for more at 31-years-old in 2028. She has won nine golds, four silvers and one bronze in her Olympic career and certainly could be a candidate to snag a few more.

Ryan Crouser could also seek a fourth consecutive gold in the shot put, although he would be 35-years-old during the Los Angeles Games. Still, he said it would be a "dream" to compete in his home country, so he cannot counted out.

Some other names to watch for include:

• Kaylyn Brown
• Erriyon Knighton
  
• Summer McIntosh (CAN)
• Quincy Wilson
• Femke Bol (NED)
