The president of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games, Casey Wasserman, has called for French unity amid a politically charged atmosphere in the run-up to the Olympics.

The Los Angeles 2028 Olympics proposed a series of updates to its venue plan Friday, leveraging Southern California’s abundance of high-quality athletic venues to assign more sports to existing stadiums and fewer temporary ones. Track and field will now be front and centre at the Memorial Coliseum.

The organizers of the Los Angeles 2028 Paralympic Games would like to include para-climbing in the programme of the games. A corresponding proposal has been submitted to the International Paralympic Committee (IPC). Sport climbing is currently only in the Olympic program. Medals were awarded for the first time in Tokyo 2020.

Danny Kerry has been appointed as the performance director for GB and England Hockey, tasked with guiding the sport towards the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.

A lightning-quick response from the International Olympic Committee on Wednesday, citing financial transparency as main motive for its rejection of the International Boxing Association’s plan to pay Paris 2024 medallists, exposes its tight squeeze on the boxing world regarding LA 2028 participation.

The IOC has a premise: to reach a wider audience in order to prolong the life of Olympism in the face of today's digital dynamism. The focus is increasingly on urban sports, which are being included more and more frequently. Flying Disc leads the way, followed by TeqBall and Dodgeball.

International Olympic Committee (IOC) Sport Director Kit MacConnell said during the press conference held at the IOC headquarters in Lausanne, Switzerland, on Tuesday that "we will not be able to have boxing in the LA2028 programme without a new body working in partnership with the IOC".
