More venues in Los Angeles, Carson and Long Beach were just announced for the LA28 Olympic games.
In addition to diving, gymnastics and track and field, seven more Olympic sports will be coming to venues along Figueroa Street between Exposition Park and downtown Los Angeles, according to LA28, the planning committee preparing for the Games.“I will do my little walk through here, and do it every day. If I can get a ticket to one of the events, I think I will attend,” Ronald Tate, a Carson resident, said.
“When they listed where different events were, I didn't heat it. And I was wondering, ‘Oh do we get anything this time?’ because I know that’s specifically why they built the velodrome several years ago for one of the other Olympics,” Cecelia Tate, a Carson resident, said. The Tennis Center is home to the U.S. Tennis Association's High-Performance Training Center and has hosted various professional Women's Tennis championships and tournaments.
The city of Long Beach previously hosted archery, fencing, sailing and volleyball at the 1984 Games. Long Beach's Marine Stadium also hosted rowing events at the 1932 Games. According to LA28, the announcement includes venue assignments that are both unchanged from the original 2017 bid plan, along with new facilities.
