October 22, 2025

Los Angeles 2028 organisers joined Oklahoma City officials on Oct 20 to mark 1,000 days until the Olympic opening ceremony, and said preparations are advancing to stage softball and canoe slalom events in the city as part of the Games.

LA28 chairman Casey Wasserman and chief executive officer Reynold Hoover appeared with Oklahoma City Mayor David Holt and Team OKC president Michael Byrnes after a weekend of youth clinics and venue visits to the OKC Softball Park and the OKC Whitewater Centre.

The organisers say the venue will host the Olympic softball tournament and canoe slalom competitions in 2028.

"The LA28 Olympic Games will bridge regions and communities from the Pacific coast in Los Angeles to the central plains of Oklahoma City," Wasserman said. "We remain steadfast in our planning and working tirelessly towards creating an incredible Games experience for athletes, residents and visitors alike in 2028.
