2024 Bid; Los Angeles 2024 Candidature File Part 2
2024 Bid; New venues in Los Angeles’ 2024 Olympics bid
Los Angeles has added new venues to it’s 2024 Games Plan. These venue changes will be included in the Candidature File Part 2, which will be submitted to the IOC later this week.
“The IOC’s Olympic Agenda 2020 reforms encourage cities to be sustainable, efficient and go where our existing venues are, and that is what we have done with this enhanced Games Plan. Every time we have identified an opportunity to enhance our plan in line with the principles of Olympic Agenda 2020, we have taken it. And just like the stunning Rio 2016 Games, LA 2024 will stage events that feature our scenic coastline, diverse topography and iconic landmarks, creating a vibrant backdrop for a citywide celebration that engages the community and inspires the world.”
