Olympic flag arrives in Los Angeles, home of the 2028 Games
The Olympic flag arrived on Monday, August 12, in Los Angeles, where it will be flown in 2028 when the city hosts the next Summer Games.
The flag arrived aboard a Delta Airlines jet carrying American athletes and officials, and painted with "LA28" and palm trees on its side. Hip-hop legend Tupac Shakur's "California Love" blasted on loudspeakers on the tarmac at Los Angeles International Airport as the plane came to a stop.
Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass stepped off the plane dressed in a red Team USA tracksuit, smiled broadly and waved the Olympic flag before descending airstairs to be greeted by California Governor Gavin Newsom. Olympic diver Delaney Schnell, skateboarder Tate Carew and others accompanied the mayor.

00:00To celebrate the LA 20th Olympic, and here's the big game.
00:15Welcome home team USA!
00:17For all the athletes that you can't pass at convention place,
00:20please make your way off to the corner back for a team photo with the Olympic flag.
00:30Let's go!
01:00Welcome home team USA!
01:30And so that handoff to me was more than just the symbolism.
01:54It's a friendship that has developed between our two cities.
01:57Much that we have to learn from them.
01:59And I think one of the things I'm the most excited about
02:02is the way they turned the Olympics in Paris to be the Olympics for everyone.
02:07I think we all feel pressure.
02:09And so it was just a moment of, I feel, tremendous pride and responsibility.
02:16We have a lot of work to do on so many different levels.
02:19And it's not like we haven't been doing the work, but now we need to put our foot on the gas.
