This meeting provided a valuable opportunity for OBS, the LA28 Organising Committee for the Olympic and Paralympic Games and MRHs to convene in person, tour key competition venues and assess their proximity to the future International Broadcast Centre (IBC), while also reviewing the progress of Games preparations and discussing the innovative broadcast coverage plan.
Emphasising the distinctive identity of Los Angeles and the ambition of OBS to push the boundaries of broadcast innovation, CEO Yiannis Exarchos reaffirmed OBS’s commitment to delivering groundbreaking coverage that will truly capture the spirit and energy of the LA28 Olympic and Paralympic Games: “In Los Angeles, the Olympic spirit is not just a tradition, it is part of the city’s DNA. As a global hub of technology, storytelling and sport, LA28 offers us an unparalleled opportunity. Together with our broadcast partners, we are committed to bringing bold ideas to life and redefining what it means to experience the Games – deeper, more connected, more human.”
LA28 CEO Reynold Hoover highlighted the Organising Committee’s strong progress and readiness: “With less than three years to go, our strong and growing LA28 team is well positioned to move forward with purpose, working closely with OBS, MRHs and all other stakeholders to deliver exceptional Games. We’ve made significant strides this year: finalising venue plans, securing eight major commercial partners, publishing the Olympic competition schedule, and announcing our game-changing athlete quota. For the first time in the history of the Olympics, more women will compete in the Games than men. With LA’s world-class venues and vibrant energy, we have a powerful stage to showcase the city’s spirit and the essence of the Movement.”
