LA28 Summer Olympics

[Patrick]

Hey all,

I know it is so far out (July 2028) that it is kind of silly to think about, but just thought I'd start a thread in case anyone ends up going to the Summer Olympics in 2028! I'm local to Los Angeles (well, I am as I wrote this in 2026, anyway), so we picked up tickets to a couple of events during the locals presale, including the JUD10 Judo Mixed Final, which will include:

• Women's -70kg Repechage Contests
• Women's -70kg Semifinal Contests
• Men's -90kg Repechage Contests
• Men's -90kg Semifinal Contests
• Women's -70kg Bronze Contests
• Women's -70kg Final
• Men's -90kg Bronze Contests
• Men's -90kg Final

Seemed like a fun idea! Maybe some other community members will make it out.

Yes. I’m just 5 hours north of Los Angeles. I’ve plans to attend as much as I can of Judo and TKD events.

Will try to see Track and Field, Diving, Fencing, Swimming, and Equestrian. If able to, I’ll see what else I can!!

Bad thing is that my wife and I can only attend the weekend events due to my wife’s work schedule as a school teacher.

One thing I’ll be looking for is to eat at Cupid Hot Dogs, a staple of my youth and a must as an adult, in the San Fernando Valley which is north of Los Angeles just over the Santa Monica Mountains.

Is Karate in this Olympics?

It sounds cool to attend the MA events, but I am guessing the cost and hassle of everything involved would be deal breakers for me. I know you have looked forward to this for a long time (and it is still a long time from now) so I hope you get to go and have a blast!

As of now it is not but it appears there is a push to change that.
