In which city the 2028 Summer Olympic Games will be organized ?
- (a)Amsterdam
- (b)Tokyo
- (c)Paris
- (d)Los Angeles
Correct — D, Los Angeles. The 2028 Summer Olympics (the Games of the XXXIV Olympiad) were awarded to Los Angeles, USA — the city's third time as host after 1932 and 1984. The IOC awarded 2024 to Paris and 2028 to Los Angeles together in 2017.
- (a)Amsterdam — Amsterdam hosted the 1928 Summer Olympics — a century before, not 2028.
- (b)Tokyo — Tokyo hosted the 2020 Summer Olympics (postponed to 2021 due to COVID-19).
- (c)Paris — Paris hosted the 2024 Summer Olympics — the edition immediately before Los Angeles 2028.
Olympic host cities are chosen years in advance by the IOC. The recent Summer sequence runs Rio 2016 → Tokyo 2020 (held 2021) → Paris 2024 → Los Angeles 2028 → Brisbane 2032. Los Angeles 2028 will be the city's third Olympics.
Every distractor really did host the Olympics — but in other years (Amsterdam 1928, Tokyo 2020, Paris 2024). Memorise the rolling list of the next few hosts and you can place any near-term year.
- 2028 Summer Olympics host: Los Angeles, USA (3rd time — after 1932 and 1984)
- Paris hosted 2024; Tokyo hosted 2020 (held in 2021)
- Brisbane, Australia will host the 2032 Summer Olympics
- The IOC announced the Paris 2024 and Los Angeles 2028 hosts together in 2017
- Amsterdam 1928 versus '2028' — a deliberate near-miss
- Mixing up Paris (2024) and Los Angeles (2028)
'Which city hosts the Games of year X' or 'which city hosts next' — keep a chronological host list handy.
Consider the following statements in respect of the 32nd Summer Olympics: 1. The official motto for this Olympics is 'A New World'. 2. Sport Climbing, Surfing, Skateboarding, Karate and Baseball are included in this Olympics. Which of the above statements is/are correct?
- (a) 1 only
- (b) 2 only
- (c) Both 1 and 2
- (d) Neither 1 nor 2
Answer(b) 2 only — the new sports statement is right; 'A New World' was actually the Rio 2016 motto (Tokyo 2020's was 'United by Emotion').
Same area — the recent Summer Olympic editions and their host timeline (Rio 2016 → Tokyo 2020 → Paris 2024 → Los Angeles 2028) that this question continues.
