USOPC CEO Says Dispersed Olympic Games Will Become More Common
USOPC CEO Sarah Hirshland stated that geographically dispersed Olympic Games are becoming the norm due to the increasing scale and infrastructure demands. The Milano Cortina Winter Games, spread over 22,000 kilometres, were deemed successful. The upcoming LA28 Summer Games will feature venues across multiple US cities, while the 2030 French Alps Games will follow a similar dispersed model. Utah 2034's centralized plan is considered a rare exception. Hirshland noted that future summer Games may be smaller due to logistical and cost challenges.
