As Los Angeles prepares for the 2028 Summer Olympics, challenges are mounting with a budget anticipated to exceed $7 billion. Organizers, including Casey Wasserman of LA28, highlight the event's operational complexity, likening it to hosting seven Super Bowls daily for an entire month. While previous Olympics have faced budget overruns, LA believes its well-established sports venues will mitigate excess costs. Meanwhile, the success of a transgender female athlete at a state high school championship highlights ongoing discussions in sports about inclusivity and recognition.
The Olympics in L.A. will be the largest peacetime gathering in the history of the world. It is a level of complexity and scale that is unimaginable.
Organizers are hoping the over $7 billion cost will be covered through corporate sponsorships, broadcast deals, and ticket sales.
The price tag for the Games often exceeds estimates, but organizers believe Los Angeles has an advantage with its existing state-of-the-art venues.
A transgender female athlete took home two gold medals and one silver medal at this weekend’s statewide track and field championships.
