Los Angeles has decided its Olympic aspirations can wait four years, which means Paris is poised to host the 2024 Summer Olympics. The two cities had both been awarded hosting rights by the International Olympic Committee and have been negotiating for the past three weeks on which city would go first and which would wait until 2028. The Los Angeles Times reported that a deal between the three parties has been struck with Los Angeles agreeing to stage the 2028 Summer Games.
While Los Angeles was expected to push for youth sports funding and other possible financial considerations, terms of the deal were not immediately known. The Times reported an official announcement from the IOC could come later Monday. The deal would still need to be ratified by the IOC at its Sept. 13 meeting in Lima, Peru.
