The Los Angeles Organizing Committee for the 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games (LA28) announced last week the finalized sailing venue plan for the Olympic Games Los Angeles 2028. Sailing events will take place along the Belmont Shore coast in Long Beach as well as the Port of Los Angeles.
“Long Beach is the premiere location for windsurfing and kite – two outstanding sailing events that will captivate spectators,” said Mayor Rex Richardson. “We hosted Sailing competitions during the 1984 Olympic Games, and we cannot wait to continue our legacy and show our beautiful coastline to the world once again in 2028.”
The Olympic sport of sailing includes 10 medal events among Men’s, Women’s and mixed teams. For the 2028 Games, sailing events will be shared between Long Beach and the host city of Los Angeles. Long Beach’s Belmont Shore will stage four board events: Men’s and Women’s Windsurfing and Men’s and Women’s Kite. Meanwhile the Port of Los Angeles will host six boat events: Men’s and Women’s Dinghy, Men’s and Women’s Skiff, Mixed Dinghy and Mixed Multihull.
Long Beach will serve as a 2028 Venue City set to stage the largest number of sporting events outside of Los Angeles, staging 11 sporting events for the Olympic Games and seven for the Paralympic Games. More information about Long Beach’s commitment to the LA28 Games is available at longbeach.gov/2028Games.
Hosted by the City of Los Angeles, the 2028 Olympic Games will take place July 14 through July 30, 2028, and the 2028 Paralympic Games will take place Aug. 15 through Aug. 27, 2028.
