Jun 21, 2024, 05:03 PM

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has announced that Oklahoma City will host the Canoe Slalom and Women’s Softball events for the 2028 Summer Olympics. This decision comes as part of the LA28 Olympic Games, with Los Angeles organizers acknowledging that their city lacks the necessary venues for these sports to meet international competition standards. Oklahoma City's world-class facilities will provide an exceptional experience for athletes and spectators alike. Local officials, including Senator Lankford and Senator Mullin, have expressed their enthusiasm and honor at hosting these global events. The collaboration between Oklahoma City and Los Angeles has been ongoing for six years to ensure a seamless integration of these events into the 2028 Olympics.
