they should make driving in the freeway a competition

With Paris 2024 having the Masked Torchbearer and the Silver Knight Flagbearer, I suggest that the LA 2028 Olympics have an Avengers/Justice League themed Torchbearer and Flagbearer or have a group of superheroes protecting the torch and flag from obstacles because it both honors the history of American comic culture and would just hype up the Olympics like those two did.

Come on America and LA 2028, just make a team of heroes for Olympics. It would make the Ceremonies not boring.

Stadium goes completely dark. No sound from the performance, just low level cheers from the audience

A capella, we hear

“Got off the plane at LAX”

Moment of silence for insane screaming, then lights come up and the performance drops and on behalf of the Los Angeles Olympics it’s Miley welcoming everybody with a dream to a party in the USA

You're telling me that my city (Los Angeles) took one look at breaking

breaking. Hip Hop. DANCING.

And said-

"Nah"

;LKSAJFA ARE YOU KIDDING ME????

AND WE TRADED IT FOR FOOTBALL??????

I can’t believe the next Olympics are in LA! Where I live?? This dump?? I can’t wait to see how they transform this dumpster into something worthy of the Olympics!

...LA Olympics choosing Red Hot Chili Peppers for their opening song... when lead singer Anthony Kiedis has a long history of SA including a 14 year old victim he boasted about... unsurprising after letting a convicted child r*pist compete in the Paris Olympics...

Given the results of the US election, going forward, it would be accurate to call any major international sporting event, F1, the Olympics and Paralympics, the World Cup, etc., being held in the USA sportswashing

Thanks for the fun, Paris

The two and a half weeks that were the Paris Olympic games are now in the books, it was a great event with a lot of elite athletes competing at the highest level. No matter what your itch is, the olympics will scratch it, I watched everything from table tennis to water polo. Obviously living in the USA, I root for the American athletes to do well but it's fun watching other nations celebrate medals. It's time to reflect on the games, taking a look at what these games will be remembered for as we are on the road to 2028.

I think we can all agree that the idea of breaking or break dancing being involved in the Olympics was going to be intriguing. I can say that it will be remembered for a while, probably not for the best reasons, it was defined by a woman from Australia earning a zero. I'm sure that you've seen the routine, if not, please check it out. As of right now it seems like breaking will be one and done as it won't be returning for the 2028 games.

This was a redemption tour for Simone Biles, re-establishing her dominance after a rough performance in Tokyo back in 2020. In Tokyo she pulled out after citing her mental health, she didn't look like her normal self at all. She medaled in Tokyo but you could tell something was off, didn't want to make it seem like she did nothing. In Paris, Simone earned gold medals for the individual all around, team all around and vault. She added a silver medal for floor exercise, 4 total medals with her expressing joy and confidence that seemed to be missing in Tokyo.

This is 16 year old Quincy Wilson who made his Olympic debut in Paris and earned a gold medal as part of the 4x400 meter relay team. The coolest part of his winning a gold is the fact that he became the youngest ever to win a gold medal, now he becomes someone that I will be looking out for in 2028.

There were many more moments but that's every Olympics, whether it's summer or winter. The 2028 Olympics will be in Los Angeles as was introduced during the closing ceremonies with Tom Cruise lowering in to the arena and taking the flag to LA.

LA will see the return and introduction of 5 sports that weren't part of the Paris games. Baseball and Softball will be making a return, they were last played back in 2008. Lacrosse and Cricket are also making a return, but they haven't been in the Olympics since 1908 and 1900, respectively. Squash and Flag Football will be brand new to the Olympics. I'm excited to see them all in 2028, are you?

Make sure to follow me both @chompinatthebit and @passionandprecision with my co-host who you can also follow @jorissportsstories. Let me know what you think.

Until next time...

So is Snoop Dogg the LA 2028 mascot? Because if he ain’t the mascot, the LA 2028 games are already boring.

[jestersssss]

Snoop Dogg showing up but no Katie to sing California Gurls??? USA what are you doing???

The single and only perk of having a friend I’ve known for eight years move away to the other side of the country is that I’ve already reserved her couch as my hotel for the LA olympics
