The new terminal at Hollywood-Burbank Airport will open this October, with less than two years to go until Los Angeles hosts the 2028 Olympic & Paralympic Games. The redevelopment of Burbank Airport has been one of many infrastructure projects being undertaken in the LA area ahead of the games.
Each IOC President comes it with certain changes they make. Thomas Bach's signature reforms were Olympic Agenda 2020. Now, Kirsty Coventry's reform is called "Fit For the Future".
How do you think "Fit for the Future" will compare to Agenda 2020 and what do you think we will see in "Fit for the Future"? And, do you see some of the reforms in "Fit for the Future" rolling back some of what we saw in Olympic Agenda 2020?
The host of the 2030 Youth Olympic Games was supposed to be elected next month, but that has been pushed back. It has been suggested that it is possible that the IOC might even do away with the Youth Olympic Games.
Do we know where things are going with the Youth Olympics?
I have been told that a trip to New York City could be scary and/or stressful and that its not the kind of place you go to in order to relax. Is this true?
I live in LA and I'm not too long a drive a way from this proposed development. It seems really tall for something outside of Downtown LA. How likely is it that this even gets approved and built? Or is this just another unrealistic pipe dream?
I'm curious to know what one should consider in regard to if NYC is the right or wrong city to live in. What factors make NYC the right city for someone to live in? Which factors would make it the wrong city to live in? Also, what kind of person should live there and what kind of person should not live there?
I lived there for the first 25 years of my life and I live in LA now where I am really happy. My wife, an LA native recently had a really good job offer there, but knowing that my previous life in NYC didn't go too well, isn't sure if she should accept and uproot us, especially considering the fact that we are content where we are at the moment.
The SportAccord Convention will return next year after being absent for a few years. Next year's convention will come a year before Los Angeles hosts the 2028 Summer Olympics, which means this convention will likely be larger and with a bigger Olympic presence.
It has been suggested that the official bidding race for the 2036 Olympics may be opened next month at the IOC Session. This leads to two questions;
When will the host be elected?
Who will be elected as the host of the 2036 Summer Olympics?
So I'm proposing this hypothetical under the following circumstances; assuming bidding is officially "opened" after being "paused" and if the host is elected at next year's IOC Session in 2027, then who do you see winning?
So it looks like the very controversial Enhanced Games has found a broadcaster and Roku bit first. It seems like no one else really wanted to bite at this knowing how controversial it is.
The first phase of the LA Metro's D Line extension has opened with a little over two years to go until Los Angeles hosts the 2028 Olympic & Paralympic Games.
Phase one extends the D Line from Wilshire/Western to Wilshire/La Cienega in Beverly Hills with stations also opening at Wilshire/ La Brea and Wilshire/ Fairfax.
Phase two will open early next year with the subways being extended to Wilshire/ Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills and Century City. Phase three will open in the fall of 2027 with new station in Westwood and the VA Hospital in Brentwood.
The extension will link the westside of LA which is where the LA28 Olympic village will be located (UCLA) with Downtown LA where a large number of Olympic venues will be located.
I hope this article clarifies things in regard to some of the discussions going on on this subreddit at the moment. There seems to be some confusions, but this seems to clarify things and answer some questions. I hope this helps.
A leaked report has indicated that at the IOC Executive Board meeting this week that the IOC will affirm that no summer sports will be permitted in the Winter Olympics.
The sticking points are that the Olympic charter does not allow it and that if this were allowed, federations for athletics and cycling would get to share some of the broadcasting revenue. The winter sports federations were widely opposed to this.
Here is an article I found about Detroit's failed Olympic bids. This is another one for those of you who are really into history. This was an interesting read for me, so I figured I would share it here.
Here is one for all of you Olympic history buffs from when NYC bid to be the US candidate for the 1984 Summer Olympics, but ultimately lost to Los Angeles who went on to host.
