The Olympics have arrived in LA! At least the flag has. The rest is yet to come.

At the conclusion to the Games of the 33rd Olympiad – the Paris Olympics – Aug. 11, LA Mayor Karen Bass accepted the Olympic Flag from Paris Mayor Anne Hidalgo. Mayor Bass carried to Los Angeles to accept the proclamation that Los Angeles is the next host of the Summer Games in 2028, as we all know.

Catch your breath, everyone, it’s going to be an amazing four years, and the best Summer Olympics yet!
