the highest sense of obligation. With that final approval today, it is now official. Two sports from the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games in Los Angeles—softball and canoe slalom—will be staged in their entirety in America’s 20th-largest city. This is really happening. The Olympics are coming to OKC.” “Now that this is official, our work in Oklahoma City can truly begin,” Holt continued. “Hosting these events goes far beyond the venues. It is quite possible that Oklahoma City could have competitions taking place throughout the full duration of the Los Angeles Olympics, which will become clear as LA28 works to finalize their competition schedule in the coming months. This endeavor in July 2028 will be a community effort that will pull all 700,000 of us together for the next three years in a shared mission. Each of us who lives here now has the opportunity to welcome the world to Oklahoma City and to write a unique chapter in our city’s story.” The OKC Council will vote on a resolution next month outlining the city’s commitments to the effort and setting the stage for the Greater OKC Chamber to serve as the local host organization.
