Transport issues but LA28 aims to deliver best show

Los Angeles cannot compete with the iconic landmarks of the Paris Olympics, but LA28 organisers are confident the Hollywood factor and their city's identity will help them raise the bar when they host the global event.

The recently concluded Paris Games were a hit with fans, athletes, sponsors and broadcasters and LA28 chief executive officer Reynold Hoover also praised the French organisers for an "incredible Games".

Hoover, who will take charge of the next summer Games in four years, admitted that there are areas where the West Coast city could not compete with the City of Light, but said it has plenty to offer nonetheless.

"Paris is an amazing venue.

Every single one of the venues in Paris is iconic and you cannot compete against playing beach volleyball or blind football in the shadow of the Eiffel Tower," he said on Sept 6.
