The Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games are shaping up to be a transformative global event, with Thomas Bach leading a series of seminars and strategic meetings that aim to shape the future of the international Olympic movement. The President of the International Olympic Committee (IOC) has spent recent weeks developing a roadmap that promises to renew the essence of the Olympic Games by exploring new disciplines and strengthening international sports partnerships.

In a move reflecting the vision of Olympic modernization, Bach has held crucial discussions with leaders of various international federations, exploring the inclusion of emerging sports and the revival of historic disciplines. Cricket, for instance, is set to return to the Olympics after more than a century, symbolizing a commitment to diversity and global inclusion in the world of sports.

STRATEGIES FOR A NEW OLYMPIC CYCLE

Bach’s meetings reveal an ambitious agenda that extends beyond mere sporting organization. The inclusion of disciplines such as cricket and flag football, alongside the evaluation of traditional sports like boxing, demonstrates a dynamic approach to keeping the Olympic Games relevant in an ever-changing world. Each decision regarding the Olympic program will be made meticulously, considering not only athletic performance but also each sport’s ability to connect with new generations of athletes and spectators.

The seminar focused on Los Angeles 2028 seeks not only to define a sports program but also to build an Olympic model that meets contemporary demands. Bach has emphasized his commitment to creating an event that transcends mere competition, incorporating humanitarian values, global representation, and a message of unity in times of increasing international fragmentation.
