LOS ANGELES : Kathy Carter, who this week was named CEO of the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic organizing committee, said the Games will be both fiscally sound and leave a lasting impact on the host city.

"There are a lot of things we can do to make it very easy for the athletes, the stakeholders and ultimately the fans to engage and to experience the Games," she said. To that end, LA28 has pledged an investment of US$160 million to make sports more accessible to kids across LA, particularly in underserved communities, for sports including swimming, tennis, golf and judo.

Carter tipped her hat to the organizers of this summer's Tokyo Games, which were delayed a year by the coronavirus pandemic and were held mostly without fans in attendance.
