In an effort to maximize existing facilities and keep costs down, softball and canoe slalom are expected to be held in Oklahoma’s capital city during the 2028 Games, Los Angeles organizers announced Friday.

“Oklahoma City has hosted many international competitions at our unique, world-class whitewater and softball venues,” Holt said. “We are confident we will be an outstanding partner to LA28 in creating a dynamic environment for Olympians and fans. We are excited about the opportunity to support one of America’s great global cities, Los Angeles, and work closely with the LA28 organizing committee to ensure that the 2028 Olympic Games are a success.
Those improvements, along with smaller ones since, helped put Oklahoma City in position to host the Games. The other venue set to be used in 2028 is Oklahoma City’s Riversport OKC, which hosted the 2024 U.S. Olympic Trials in canoe slalom.
