The Olympic games have been held for more than 2,000 years to encourage healthy competition among the peoples of the five continents. However, even this millennial event is not free from controversy.

The next edition of the games is still a few years away, but it is best to prepare early and open an account with the best betting agent to get the most out of the world of sports.

Los Angeles 2028

The 2028 Olympic games will be held in the city of Los Angeles, USA. This will be the fifth Summer Olympics hosted in the United States and the third hosted in Los Angeles after 1932 and 1984. Los Angeles will also be the third city to host three editions of the Games, after London (1908, 1948, and 2012) and Paris (1900, 1924, and 2024).

A remarkable historical achievement, but this edition of the games may also make history for another, somewhat controversial reason. The removal of popular sports.

Popular sports at risk

The International Olympic Committee (IOC) has announced that boxing, weightlifting, and pentathlon are not guaranteed on the Olympic program for the Los Angeles 2028 Games. IOC President Thomas Bach said that the federations of these three sports will have to adapt to new realities in order to remain in the Olympics.

The vast majority of the problems stem from corruption scandals by the leaders of the international committees of these sports, and the need for a culture change regarding doping, reducing the historical incidence of cases in the sport and ensuring a robust and independent process to control the use of banned substances. Even

Soccer is under observation but for not so negative reasons. The issue would depend on the definition of the proposal to hold the World Cup every two years, which would create a conflict of dates.

One way or another, we will keep an eye on the latest decisions of the IOC to keep you well informed, so stay tuned to our news section.
