(ATR) The chair for the IOC Coordination Commission for Los Angeles 2028 returns to the city where she competed as an Olympic athlete 35 years ago.
"It’s really great to be back in LA," Nicole Hoevertsz told reporters on a conference call ahead of the final day of the three-day IOC visit on Thursday.
"This visit has brought back so many memories from my own participation in the Olympic Games in 1984." Hoevertsz competed for Aruba in synchronized swimming.
Her trip down memory lane came during the first Delivery Partners Meeting for LA2028. The first day was spent in meetings with the local organizing committee led by chair Casey Wasserman.
"I am extremely pleased to report that LA2028 is on track," Hoevertsz said, adding that this is the first time that the IOC and the local organizing committee are "co-creating the Games", a direct result of the IOC’s Agenda 2020 and the New Norm reforms.
Hoevertsz, who has been part of previous CoComms, said "This is the first time I’ve really felt that the two teams really exchanged information, exchanged knowledge, exchanged experience, and worked together to work toward the creation of an amazing Games."

"Muchos de los países centroamericanos tienen dos votos." añadió.
Stoute ha enviado un video a los miembros de Odecabe con los argumentos de su postulación.
