LA28’s podium of concerns

After the Los Angeles 1984 Olympics pulled off the rare feat of being profitable, the 2028 edition is not riding the same wave of optimism. The LA28 Organizing Committee still hasn’t confirmed the Sailing venue, perhaps because they are distracted by other issues detailed in this report by insidethegames:
