On Wednesday the International Olympic Committee voted to officially award the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games to the city of Los Angeles, as the Olympics will return to the United States for the first time since 1996 and to Los Angeles for the first time since 1984.
Originally Los Angeles was in a running to host the 2024 games, but instead of competing with Paris, France for 2024 they reached an agreement earlier this summer for Paris to host in 2024 and L.A. to get 2028.
Los Angeles Lakers owner Jeanie Buss and president of basketball operations Magic Johnson were heavily involved in bringing the Olympics back to the great city of Los Angeles, as they were both nominees for the Olympic Board of Directors.
