LOS ANGELES (AP) — Los Angeles reached an agreement Monday with international Olympic leaders that will open the way for the city to host the 2028 Summer Games, while ceding the 2024 Games to rival Paris, officials announced Monday. Those plans were described in an IOC bid evaluation report released earlier this month as “forward-looking, innovative, vibrant, and cool.”

Los Angeles’ bid to host a third Olympic Games comes revolves four Olympic sports parks — downtown, Long Beach, South Bay, the Valley — and stresses a city re-energized and more diverse since hosting the record-setting 1984 Games as well as both the city’s lengthy Olympic history and its 21st Century vision for the Olympic movement. The deal, trumpeted as a “win-win-win” for Los Angeles, Paris and the IOC, will bring the Summer Olympics to Los Angeles for a third time, after the city staged the Games in 1984 and 1932. The IOC’s unanimous vote in Lausanne on July 11 that guaranteed Los Angeles and Paris the opportunity to host a third Olympic Games was characterized by IOC president Thomas Bach and Garcetti as a “golden opportunity” for both cities and an Olympic movement whose future has been jeopardized by a series of corruption, financial and doping scandals that have scared off potential bid cities, younger viewers and sponsors.
Los Angeles has reportedly reached an agreement with the International Olympic Committee to host the 2028 Games. This means that Paris will most likely host the 2024 Games. Both Games will be formally awarded at the 131st IOC Session in Lima, Peru, in September.
