By Karolos Grohmann MILAN, Feb 5 (Reuters) - The U.S. Olympic & Paralympic Committee heaped praise on the Los Angeles 2028 Games leadership on Thursday amid a scandal involving LA28 Chairman Casey Wasserman following revelations of emails with convicted sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell.

In just a few months, the HR team behind the LA28 Summer Olympics must scale the supporting workforce to 5,000. Here's how they're doing it.

Mayor Karen Bass says she will not seek LA28 chair Casey Wasserman’s removal, despite calls from local leaders over emails linked to Epstein files.

Officials address International Olympic Committee members, emphasizing the unifying power of the Olympics and Paralympics and Los Angeles’ diversity.

With over two years to go, Los Angeles 2028 Olympic and Paralympic Games organisers have already reported a positive outlook on the event's preparations to the International Olympic Committee at the 145th IOC Session in Milan this week.

The first general public sale, known as Ticket Drop 1, runs from April 9 to April 19, 2026. Each account is capped at 12 Olympic tickets, though limits may vary by sport. LA28 has confirmed that ticket prices will start at $28.
