Paris and LA just struck a deal to host Olympics in 2024/28

Hamburg, Rome and Budapest withdrew their 2024 bid, leaving only LA and Paris as bid cities.
The IOC approved a deal that will bypass the normal Olympic bidding process. The 2024 and 2028 Olympic Games will be awarded at the same time at the IOC's meeting in September.
The only thing still in the air is who gets 2024 and who has to wait, but rumblings are that Paris will get 2024 and LA will get 2028.
Paris 2024 has consistently taken a harder line, saying it would not consider waiting until 2028, while those stumping for LA2024 have indicated more flexibility in recent months. Garcetti has said he would push for some financial compensation, which likely would be channeled into youth sports, in return for deferring to Paris.

Awesome.
Tokyo
Paris
Los Angeles
That is a good line up of cities that shouldn't cause any major issues. Sochi and Rio were such f-ups.

There will be kick backs and deals made, regardless.

Man, nothing had our neighborhood buzzing in 1984 more than this guy the last time LA hosted. USA 1984 was the shite. I wish youth today got excited about the Olympics like we used to back in the dark ages.

Paris security will be a nightmare.

Would've been great to have LA 2024 so Trump would still be in office and all the crazies on the left could be pissed about him having a prominent role as president of the host country.

Paris is going to be a no go zone by 2024.

isn't LA the only olympics to ever turn a profit?
should just have it there every year

Didn't Baltimore decline a bid? At least LA has all the infrastructure mostly already built

Glad to see the Olympics finally coming to Louisiana.

Baseball and Softball are making a return for Tokyo 2020 because they are letting the host country decide. LA will certainly include both events, but France is not big on the bat and ball sports.
Paris in 2028 would give more time for baseball and softball to try and get on their program, but I would guess Paris gets 2024.
Since Beijing in 2008, the IOC has stuck to a rotation of:
-Asia/Oceania
-Europe
-The Americas

Will France finally call up some Robichauxs, Gremillions, Lemoines, and Ducotes to their soccer squad?
