In July-August 2028, Los Angeles, California, USA, will host one of the world’s largest sporting events — the XXXIV Summer Olympic Games and the XVIII Summer Paralympic Games. Like athletes from other countries, members of Turkmenistan’s national teams are preparing for this major international sporting competition. Turkmen athletes are conducting training in sports such as athletics, weightlifting, boxing, judo, swimming, para powerlifting, freestyle wrestling and Greco-Roman wrestling. This was reported by the newspaper “Turkmen sports”.

The LA 2028 Olympic Games are expected not only to become a venue for setting new records but also an important international event that will strengthen friendship and mutual understanding among nations and inspire the younger generation.

Turkmenistan continues its efforts to develop sports and create broad opportunities for athletes. The country’s national teams are wished success at future international competitions and major victories.

For Los Angeles, home to Hollywood, considered the center of the global film industry, this major sporting event will become a new chapter in Olympic history. The city has already successfully hosted the Olympic Games in 1932 and 1984. Thus, Los Angeles will join cities such as London and Paris as one of the few cities to host the Olympic Games three times.

The XXXIV Summer Olympic Games will take place from July 14 to 30, 2028, while the Summer Paralympic Games will be held from August 15 to 27.

One of the main principles of the LA 2028 organizers is sustainable development and the effective use of existing sports facilities. Existing stadiums and other venues in the city will be used for competitions, as well as for the opening and closing ceremonies. Temporary structures will only be built for certain events if necessary.

This approach will help reduce costs, protect the environment and ensure a more sustainable organization of the Olympic Games. The organizers also plan to make maximum use of renewable energy sources and apply advanced energy solutions during the Games.

To increase fan interest, new sports have been added to the program of the 2028 Olympic Games. Flag football and squash will make their Olympic debut. In addition, sports such as cricket, baseball, softball and lacrosse will also be included in the competition program.
