The 2028 Summer Olympics, officially known as the Games of the XXXIV Olympiad, and commonly known as Los Angeles 2028, is scheduled to take place from 14 July to 30 July 2028 in the United States of America. Los Angeles will be the host city, with various events also scheduled to be held at other cities spread across the greater Los Angeles area, plus two subsites in Oklahoma City. Los Angeles had originally bid for the 2024 Summer Olympics. However, after multiple withdrawals that left only Los Angeles and Paris in contention, the International Olympic Committee (IOC) approved a process to concurrently award the 2024 and 2028 Summer Olympics to the two remaining candidates; Paris displayed a preference for the 2024 Games, and Los Angeles agreed to host in 2028. This will mark the fifth Summer Olympics (first since Atlanta 1996), and ninth Olympics overall, to be hosted by the United States. Having previously hosted the Summer Olympics in 1932 and 1984, Los Angeles becomes the third three-time host city after London (1908, 1948, 2012) and Paris (1900, 1924, 2024), and the first non-European city to do so.

ON THE FOOTSTEPS OF THE FRENCH REVOLUTION - The route of Paris 2024 marathon was inspired by the Women's March on Versailles. It was one of the earliest and most impactful events of the French Revolution. Thousands of Parisian women, primarily market women and working-class citizens, frustrated by the high cost and scarcity of bread, decided to take their grievances directly to King Louis XVI. They gathered in Paris and began their march to the Palace of Versailles, a distance of approximately 19 kilometers (around 12 miles), where they successfully pressured the king to agree to their demands, including signing the Declaration of the Rights of Man and of the Citizen. More importantly, they compelled the royal family to move from Versailles to the Tuileries Palace in Paris, effectively bringing the king closer to the people and under the watch of the revolutionaries. The Paris 2024 marathon course draws inspiration from this historic march by symbolically retracing part of the route that the women took - starting in the heart of Paris and heading toward Versailles, just as the march did in 1789. The course then returned to Paris, much like how the revolutionaries brought the king back to the capital.
