Breakdancers, ticket scalpers, and a car-free LA? Discover everything you need to know about the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics!

With the 2024 Paris Olympics wrapping up in a whirlwind of athletic prowess and unforgettable moments, all eyes now turn to the City of Angels for the 2028 Summer Games. Los Angeles is stepping into the spotlight for what promises to be a groundbreaking event—quite literally, as breaking (also known as breakdancing) is set to make a highly anticipated appearance. This isn't just a Games; it's a revolution in sports entertainment!

But it’s not all b-boys and b-girls stealing the show. Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass has made the audacious claim that the 2028 Olympics will feature a 'no-car' transportation system, a stark contrast to LA's notorious traffic jams. Skeptical? You're not alone! Critics are eager to see how this ambitious plan will pan out in one of the world's most car-dependent cities.

From the storied halls of the LA Memorial Coliseum to state-of-the-art new venues, LA28 is set to host events in 22 locations across the city. And if you're already itching to secure your seat, keep those eyes peeled because the ticket sale announcements are expected much sooner than you think. With the countdown officially on, excitement is palpable as LA prepares to open its doors to athletes and fans from around the globe.

Add to that the star power of Tom Cruise, who helped Paris ceremoniously hand over the Olympic flag to Mayor Karen Bass, and you’ve got a Hollywood storyline worthy of gold. Plus, don’t forget the history: LA last hosted the Games in 1984, a seminal event that set the stage for what's expected to be the most memorable Olympics yet.

**Did You Know?** - In 1932, Los Angeles hosted its first Olympics amidst the backdrop of the Great Depression, showcasing the city’s resilience and spirit. - Breaking, an event debuting in Paris 2024, was introduced to bring younger viewers into the Olympic fold, proving that even time-honored traditions can groove to a new beat.

Get ready for a summer of innovation and inspiration. Whether you're a sports fan or a casual spectator, LA28 promises to be an Olympic Games for the ages!
