LA28 plans to host the best Paralympic Games in history

The Los Angeles 2028 Paralympic Games are set to begin on August 15, 2028, with organizers aiming to elevate the event's status. International Paralympic Committee president Andrew Parsons expressed ambitions to significantly enhance public perception of athletes with disabilities. Previous Paralympics in Paris 2024 featured record ticket sales and global broadcast hours, contributing to a growing recognition of the movement. LA28 intends to build on this momentum by emphasizing the athleticism of competitors while shifting focus away from their disabilities. The last U.S. Summer Paralympics in 1996 saw disorganization, but joint bids since 2002 aim for improvement in future events.
