And while LA summers are endless, our Olympic passion extends to the Winter Games. LA 2024 hosted a Curling and Karaoke party in LA's Koreatown to celebrate 1 year to go until the Olympic Winter Games PyeongChang 2018.

"Thank you to all of the Angelenos who joined us for our truly incredible celebrations of the Olympic Movement’s power to unite and inspire," said LA 2024 Vice Chair and Director of Athlete Relations Janet Evans.

"Moments like these bring to life what polls tell us - that an overwhelming 88% of Angelenos support bringing the Games to LA in 2024."

Best wishes on Valentine’s Day to all our friends and colleagues in the Olympic Movement!
